This isnt the healthiest of desserts but its one of my favorite .. its fired dough which is flavored with anise seed… it doesnt take that long to make the most time taken is in frying it … to make it you need:
– 2 cup semolina
– 1 cup flour .. all purpose
– 1 ts instant yeast
– 1/2 cup butter .. melted
– 1 3/4 cup milk
– 1 ts anise extract … or you can you grinded anise seed
– 3 cups of sugar syrup … actually as much as you need to coat it
– vegetable oil …. for frying
In a bowl .. add the semolina and flour …. and mix them well together …
To it add the anise powder … if you are using the liquid extract… then mix the extract with the milk …
Add the melted butter … and mix it all well until all the semolina mixture has absorbed the butter ….
Add the yeast … and mix ..
Then add the milk …..
Mix everything together to form a soft dough … not firm at all .. it sticks a little to the spoon ….
Then let the dough rest for 15 to 20 mins …
After the dough has rested …
Heat the oil …
Using a cookie press or a piping bag (to be honest the piping bag is easier) with a star shaped attachment … pipe the dough into the hot oil … be careful while doing that …
Fry the dough until golden in color …
Then set it aside in a sieve to drain all the oil out ..
After the oil is well drained … place the fried dough in a bowl and add the sugar syrup … add enough to coat it all well …
And serve it warm ….
Enjoy :) …
