Ingredients
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons water
2 1/4 cups flour
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Cinnamon sugar
Honey, lemon juice, water (for syrup)
Directions
- To prepare the dough: Beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add salt, cinnamon sugar and water to eggs and mix well. Sift in flour and knead until smooth.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board and cut into circles. Cut each circle into semi-circles.
- Pinch the center of each semi-circle, like a bow tie, then fold in half.
- Deep fry the “ears” in hot oil until they are a nice golden color.
- To soak up excess oil, cool them on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and enjoy them!
