Choose from a range of flavorings: orange blossom, rum, kirch or vanilla essence
Preparation
1
Put the flour and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Boil the water and add one of the flavorings (2 tablespoons of orange blossom, one tablespoon of rum or kirch or a few drops of vanilla essence). Pour the boiling water over the flour and stir vigorously. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag and squeeze out strips of dough directly into a pan of oil heated to 180°C/ 350° F, cutting the strips to the desired length. When they have turned golden brown, remove from the hot oil and drain on paper towels before rolling them in sugar. Serve warm.
Finishing touches...
The quantity of flour+sugar must equal the quantity of liquid (water+flavoring).
My children and their friends love to eat these when they come in from school, it reminds them of their holidays.... "
