fazuelos
Ingredients
1 kilo flour
8 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 -3/4 cup water
Oil for deep frying
Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
Mix flour eggs and oil in a food processor for about a minute
Add the water in slowly. Then knead the dough until it becomes smooth.
With a rolling pin roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 cm thick. (very thin)
Cut the dough into strips with a knife of about 5-7 cm Wide and 30 cm in length.
Heat up the oil in a big, wide pot and get ready to deep fry each cookie individually by the following method.
Using a fork, put one edge of a strip of dough in between two of the forks teeth. Then carefully, slowly, holding the other edge of the strip in the air, with your other hand and above the pot, dunk the edge with the fork – into the oil – until it starts to bubble up and form what look like “blisters” (pockets of water you get on your skin) The dough bubbles as it fries let it fry slowly so that it gets an even fry in every layer as you move the fork.
Once it has fried for at least 20 to 30 seconds lower more of the dough into the oil and slowly with the help of the fork twirl the part that has been fried and continue lowering, frying and twirling. Twirl the last part around and take the fork out – you may have to push it down at te end so that it wont open up, until it fries into a solid shape. You will get a shape of a roll.
Place fried rolls on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Continue frying each cookie individually.
Before serving, dust with powdered sugar 🙂
fyi – This was hard to make but really good and I intend to perfect it!! Also I scaled down the recipe in half.
my first time making them by myself
