Tawa-Tawas
(sweet fritters)
Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup water or milk
2 cups butter or oil to fry
1 cup cane honey
Note: Yields about 60 rhombus-shaped
tawa-tawas, 11/2 inches wide, more or less.
Preparation
- In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Then,
add butter and mix well.
- Add the eggs, slightly beaten. Then add water or milk, little
by little, and mixing very well until getting a smooth dough.
- Place the dough on a table, slightly sprinkled with flour, and
knead it. Let it rest for ten minutes, covered with a dish cloth or towel.
- On the table, place half the dough and stretch it out until it
becomes very thin (about a tenth of an inch). Cut the dough into small rhombus-shaped
pieces, 11/2 wide. Then cover them with a cloth. Repeat the process with
the remaining half of dough.
- In a large pan, heat oil at a high temperature. Fry several
pieces simultaneously. Once they are golden on one side, turn them over until they are
golden on the other side too.
- Remove the tawa-tawas from the frying pan, drain them
and place them on a paper sheet to absorb oil. Finally, place them in tray and pour cane
honey over them. If wanted, sprinkle with fine sugar too.
