2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cup water
2 lemon rinds
2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
6/7 large eggs
vegetable oil ( for deep frying )
cinnamon sugar – 1/2 cup granulated sugar mixed with 2 easpoons ground cinnamon
PREPARATION:
1. Bring the butter, sugar, salt, water and lemon rinds to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat.
2. When the water begins to boil, remove from the heat. Then remove the lemon rinds and add all the flour at once. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together in a ball.
3. After cooling the mixture a bit ( until it’s lukewarm ), add the eggs, one at a time, beating vigorously until each egg is absorbed by the dough, before adding the next. If the mixture is smooth enough that when introducing a knife it slides easily without falling, then the dough is ready.
4. Heat the vegetable oil to 180 ºC in a shallow pan. Using two tablespoons, shape small portions of the dough into balls and drop them, one by one, into the oil. Fry gently until the sonhos become golden brown on all sides.
5. Pick them with a fork or a knitting needle and drain on paper towels. Then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while still hot. Serve warm.
