Preparation
:
Put the granulated sugar, water and lemon juice into
a pan, place on moderate heat and stir until the sugar
melts. Boil for 15 minutes until the syrup thickens.
Put flour in a bowl, make a well in the centre, put
the yeast, melted margarine and salt in the well,
stir while gradually adding water, until the flour
absorbs the water. Mix together until it becomes a
dough, put near a warm place and allow to rest for
the dough to swell and puff up for about an hour.
Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan. Take a piece
of dough and squeeze it in the hands, the dough will
leap up in between the thumb and second finger; from
this, take pieces the size of a nut with a spoon,
and then dip in and outof cold water, afterwards,
put these pieces into the frying pan. Put 7-8 pieces
of dough into the pan every time. As the balls puff
up and turn into a golden color, remove from the pan
and drain away the oil. Repeat this until all the
dough is finished and place the fried balls in syrup.
After the balls absorb the syrup, place in a serving
dish, and serve.
