I ran across a recipe for this traditional Jewish holiday treat and figured I’d try to put my own spin on it. The flavor is a bit subtle, the dough is different from what I’m used to, but overall I’d say it was a worthwhile experiment. I love trying things from different cultures and trying to add my own signature to them. It’s one of the things that makes this world such an interesting place to me.
Ingredients
Mixed
1 egg, beaten
1 container yogurt (5 oz.), plain or vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar, white granulated
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sifted
2 cups flour, self-rising
A pinch salt
Directions
Beat egg in a large bowl, then add yogurt, sugar, and vanilla, mixing until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift flour and salt, and then add dry ingredients to the wet.
After this is mixed, cover the bowl and put in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes.
Heat canola oil to 375°F.
Drop a teaspoon of batter into the hot oil and repeat.
After 2 minutes, check, and then flip, frying for another minute on the other side.
When they’re golden brown, dry them on paper towels and adorn however you like.
Yields from 6–10, depending on the size of the dough balls
