Ingredients
To make this dish, you’ll need eggs, natural yogurt, sugar, salt, baking powder (Royal type), semolina, and vegetable oil for frying.
These ingredients come together to create a dough that’s both light and hearty, with a delightful texture.
Semolina replaces flour, giving the dish a unique flavor and making it a great option for those avoiding traditional wheat flour.
Instructions
Start by beating the eggs in a bowl and mixing them with the yogurt until smooth. Add the sugar, salt, baking powder, and semolina, stirring until the dough is uniform. Let the mixture rest for about five minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the moisture.
Next, transfer the dough to a plastic freezer bag and cut off the tip to create a piping bag. Heat oil in a frying pan and pipe small portions of the dough into the pan, forming small discs. Fry them on both sides until they turn golden and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the discs from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve them warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy this delightful treat as a snack or dessert!
How to Make
This recipe is incredibly straightforward and requires minimal effort. The key is to ensure the dough is well-mixed and has a smooth consistency. Letting the dough rest for a few minutes allows the semolina to soften, making it easier to handle and fry.
When frying, make sure the oil is hot but not smoking. This ensures the discs cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior without absorbing too much oil. Use a spoon or spatula to gently flip them, being careful not to break the delicate discs.
The final step is to serve them immediately. The contrast between the crispy outside and the soft, fluffy inside is what makes this dish so special. Pair it with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or even a dollop of yogurt for added flavor.
