MACROTES

Ingredients

• 1 pound All-purpose flour (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 2 count Large eggs
• 6 ounce Unsalted butter
• 4 cup Vegetable oil (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 2 cup Granulated sugar (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1/2 cup Water (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1 teaspoon Lemon extract

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the flour, eggs, and butter. Mix until a dough forms. Add more flour, a little at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky and is sufficiently dry. Knead the dough briefly.
2. 2Shape the dough into a French roll shape. Cut the roll into thin slices. Place the slices on a clean surface and let them rise slightly. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the slices in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and let them drain on paper towels.
3. 3In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil and cook until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon extract.
4. 4While the fried slices are still nearly cold, dip each one into the warm syrup, ensuring they are well coated. Serve immediately or let them cool slightly.
