Fijuelas Fried Ribbons

Ingredients

What you’ll need

• Dough
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tbsp neutral oil
• 1 tbsp orange blossom water
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2-2.5 cups flour
• Syrup
• 1 cup honey
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method

How it comes together

1. 1

   Knead eggs, oil, orange blossom water, salt, and flour into a firm dough. Rest covered for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Warm honey, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan over low heat to make the syrup.

3. 3

   Roll out dough paper-thin (preferably using a pasta machine to the thinnest setting). Cut into 1.5-inch wide by 12-inch long strips.

4. 4

   Heat frying oil to 350°F (175°C). Spear the end of a dough strip with a fork. Place the tip of the strip in hot oil and coil the strip around the fork as it fries, forming a tight circular scroll (takes 1-2 minutes).

5. 5

   Drain on paper towels, then immediately dip in the warm honey syrup.
