كوكيز على شكل ربطة عنق محضرة على الطريقة الإيطالية
Italian 30 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Zest the lemon and add it to the dry ingredients along with the milk, eggs and vanilla extract. Using a fork or pastry cutter, blend everything until a dough forms. Knead the dough until it’s smooth.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to approx. ½cm thick. Cut the dough into strips approx. 4cm wide and 8cm long. Using a small knife, make a cut lengthways in the centre of each strip.
- Pull one end of the strip through the cut to create a bow tie shape. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Heat the oil to 180°C in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer. Carefully place a few bow tie cookies into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for approx. 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp, turning occasionally. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried cookies to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
- Once the cookies have cooled slightly, dust them generously with icing sugar while they are still warm.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
