Make plain or use 1/4 cup almond milk in place of the eggs for a completely different taste effect, and to make it vegan. Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
2 eggs, beaten (see recipe description to avoid eggs) |
pinch saffron |
3/4 cup vegetable oil for frying |
Directions:
1. Mix the flour, eggs and saffron together in a bowl.
2. Knead the dough on a lightly-floured board until the dough is smooth and elastic. Your kneading will release the glutens necessary for this to happen.
3. Roll out the dough, one third at a time, on the floured surface.
4. Roll the dough as thin as possible. You could use a pasta machine to get it really thin, if you have one. If the dough isn't thin enough, the finished product will be soggy inside.
5. Cut the dough with a 4-inch cutter and remove the dough pieces to a floured plate. Use up all the dough.
6. Heat the oil VERY HOT in a frying pan. If the oil smokes, reduce the heat a little.
7. Fry the dough pieces in the hot oil in a single layer, until the edges turn golden brown, about 3 minutes.
8. Flip the dough and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden.
9. Remove the fried dough from the pan with a slotted spoon or tongs and allow to drain on a paper towel.
10. You could sprinkle sugar on them while they are still a little warm, if you wish, but you should taste them first, to see if your taste buds will demand the sweetening.
11. This recipe will make about 20 pieces, enough to appease 4 hungry mouths.
