These Sicilian doughnuts are delicious served warm! The recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks titled Cucina Deliziosa , which was compiled by the Charity Guild of Saint Joseph in Houston, Texas. Ingredients:
3 cups flour |
3 tablespoons sugar |
6 teaspoons baking powder |
3 eggs, beaten |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
corn oil (for frying) |
1 cup powdered sugar |
1 tablespoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder.
2. Add eggs, water, and vanilla; mix well.
3. Drop batter by tablespoons in hot, deep oil.
4. If oil is hot enough, sfingi will cook and turn over without help.
5. If not, turn with a large spoon to brown on both sides.
6. Add as many sfingi that will fit in skillet or deep-fryer.
7. Fry until golden brown.
8. Drain on paper towels.
9. Combine powdered sugar and cinnamon.
10. Sprinkle warm sfingi with powdered sugar and cinnamon mixture.
11. Delicious served warm!
