Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Add melted butter, eggs, and orange blossom water to the yeast mixture.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick and cut into desired shapes.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the dough pieces in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon before serving.
