Kserotigana

crete cuisine
Ingredients
  • 1 glass of orange juice
  • 3 soup spoons of extra virgin oil
  • 4 soup spoons of water
  • 3 cups of flour
  • salt
  • light frying oil
    for the syrup

  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1cup of honey
    for the sprinkle

  • sesame
  • cinnamon
  • walnut melt in thick pieces

Preparation

  1. Put the flour into a basin and make a hole in the middle. Put the juice, the oil, the water and the salt in the hole and make an elastic dough. Then leave it for two hours.

  2. Split it in two pieces and open them to thin puff pastries upon a floury surface. Cut them into thin ribbons with a round tool.
  3. Put the oil inside a frying pan until it burns.
  4. Sink a fork in the oil and wrap a pastry ribbon around it until it looks like a snail. Do the same for all the ribbons and put them into the pan.
  5. Raise down the cooker a little bit and turn the ribbons around after a while so they can be fried in both sides.
  6. When they get browned take them out and place them on a absorptive towel.
  7. Boil the syrup and when it gets ready, place a little of it on the kserotigana. Then you can powder them with the sesame, cinnamon and walnut.

Bon apetit!
