Snein El Ajouz

Snein El Ajouz is  a deep fried dough coated with honey syrup........This is my favourite dessert that mum used to make especially for me  when I visited her...Simple ingredients but superb taste.

Ingredients:

Dough:

2 Eggs

2 cup Flour (as much you need to make it a soft manageable dough)

Vanilla

Pinch of Salt

Vegetable fat and vegetable oil for frying

Syrup:

1 cup Sugar

1/3  cup Water

½ cup Honey

Squeeze of lemon

Mix eggs with vanilla, salt & flour until it becomes a soft dough. 

Roll into rope & cut them into small cube with the knife. 

Deep fry them in mixture of vegetable fat & vegetable oil until they become a golden brown.

Place them on kitchen towel to absorb the extra fat /oil.

For the syrup: Put sugar & water in a saucepan on the hob. Bring it to boil while continuously stirring to dissolve the sugar. Continue to boil the syrup for a couple of minutes till it thickens. Add a squeeze on lemon then add the honey. Bring it to boil again for a minute. Syrup should become thick. Remove the saucepan from heat.

Add the deep fried diced dough. Mix it with syrup for a minute & then pour it in a serving plate till it cool down.

Mum used to put a glass in middle of the plate & pour all the Snein El Ajouz around it. Once cooled, remove the glass & they will be in shape of a ring as above top picture.
