INGREDIENTS:

  • 2dl of water
  • 200 g of flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp (coffee) salt
  • 2 lemon peels
  • 75 g of low-fat butter
  • oil for frying

PREPARATION:

In a saucepan, bring the water to the boil with the diced butter, lemon peel and salt. Bring to a boil and remove the pan from the heat.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the flour, gently fold in by hand, using circular movements from bottom to top, ensuring that the flour is well absorbed until a homogeneous mixture is formed.

The dough should form a ball at the tip of the spoon. Stir until all the flour lumps dissolve.

Place the mixture back on low heat to dry slightly.

Place in the mixer bowl. Leave to cool slightly. Add the eggs, beat the dough until it obtains a creamy appearance and homogeneous consistency.

In a frying pan, heat the oil for frying. Dip two spoons in the hot oil and form small balls of dough. Let it fry.

When the dough sinks, let it brown on both sides. The cooking is slow and the dreams turn themselves. Drain on absorbent paper.

For the syrup: in a pan with water, add the sugar and lemon peel and let it boil for 3 minutes.

Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon or another option drizzle with lemon syrup.
