Elaboració
Pas a pas
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, eggs, lemon zest, and salt.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Ensure the lemon zest is finely grated to distribute the flavor evenly.
- 2
Mix the ingredients well until a soft, pliable dough forms.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: If the dough is too sticky, add a sprinkle more flour; if too dry, add a few drops of water.
- 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Kneading develops the gluten, making the dough elastic and easier to work with.
- 4
Roll out the dough into a thin sheet, about 2-3mm thick.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: Use a rolling pin and lightly flour your surface to prevent sticking.
- 5
Cut the dough into small ovals, roughly the size and shape of an egg.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: You can use a small cookie cutter or a knife to shape them.
- 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches about 170°C (340°F).
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy to ensure even cooking.
- 7
Carefully fry the shaped dough pieces in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and puffed.
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Do not overcrowd the pan, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in greasy pastries.
- 8
Remove the fried pastries with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Allow them to cool slightly before glazing.
- 9
In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey and water over low heat until the honey is liquid and well combined with the water.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Do not boil the honey mixture, just warm it enough to make it pourable.
- 10
Dip each fried pastry into the warm honey glaze, ensuring it is fully coated.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: You can also drizzle the honey over the pastries if you prefer a lighter coating.
