Ingredients: |
|
|
1 tsp. salt
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup lukewarm water (approx.)
2 tbsp. olive oil
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Icing sugar
|
Directions:
|
In a large bowl, sprinkle salt into the flour and mix well. Add water and work into a dough. If you need to add a few extra spoonsful of water, do so. Knead a bit. Add olive oil a spoonful at a time and knead after each addition. Knead until smooth and elastic about 5 to 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover and set aside for 2 hours.
Divide dough into 3 portions and roll into balls. Lay on a tea towel, cover and let rest for 30-40 minutes. Roll flat with a rolling pin, then using the backs of your hands stretch the dough until paper thin. Cut into strips the width of your hand. Then cut the strips into rectangles about 6 inches long. Pinch the rectangle in the middle of the two long sides. Deep fry in vegetable oil over medium high heat until golden brown and crispy; turn and fry the other side.
Drain on paper towels. Dust with icing sugar. Makes about 30.
