So, I’m planning to post some recipes from time to time of Sephardi food, I’ll start with Fijuelas, also known as deblas or fazuelos ( פזואלוס). They are traditional Sephardi pastries
Prepare yourself for a sweet taste of honey and cinammon
Ingredients:
3 eggs
2 half egg shells of oil
1 half egg shell of warm water
400 gms of flour *
Juice of half a lemon
A teaspoon of baking poder
A little bit of salt
(*) You’ll need a little more to put on the base where the mass will be stretched
Syrup:
1 cup of water
2 cups of sugar
1 lemon ( chopped into four pieces)
8 spoonfuls of honey
A Little bit of cinammon
Preparation
Mix the eggs, the oil, the water and the lemon juice and incorporate the flour and knead it until it forms a homogeneous mass.
Stretch the dough several times with a roller adding flour ( the mass must have a hard consistency) stretch until the dough is as thin as posible.
Cut the dough into thin strips (4-5 cms x 30 cms). Now with the help of a fork you have to introduce the strips in the hot oil and the other hand must be holding the end of the strip and turning the fork to get the shape of a flower.
For the syrup:
Put all the ingredients except the honey and the cinnamon in a saucepan, stirring until the sugar melts completely, cook over medium heat and dont remove (if you start removing the syrup will be dark). When the syrup begins to boil you must add honey. Removeaway from the fire.
When the syrup is cooled it will slightly thicken
The syrup is poured over the fijuelas and then the cinnamon can be sprinkled all over.
Espero k gozen kon este savor de boka, dulce lo vivas toda la vida.
