Diples

Ingredients (for 30 diples)

For the Diples

• 5 eggs
• 0,750kg flouρ
• 1/2 tea spoon “300”salt
• 2 Τable spoons sugar
• 1 1/2 vanilla extract
• 1 sachet baking powder

• ¼ glass of flower water
• ¾ glass of water
• lemon peel

For garnish

• chopped walnuts
• cinnamon

We mix the flour with the salt

Then we beat the eggwhites in a mixer and then the yolk seperatly. We mix them all together and then we add it altogether with sugar . We add the vanilla extract and the salt .

We slowly pour the flour into the egg-sugar mixture and we mix by hand so the dough is not too soft or firm .(We do not use a mixer for the dough because we don’t want it to become too firm)

We use non-stick paper in order to lay out the dough we put olive oil in our hands so the dough doesn’t stick on them. With a rolling pin we lay out thin shhet of dough. We cut the sheets into strips.

We fry the strips, as we fry the strips with the help of a fork we wrap them into a cylinder shape. When done we strain them from the oil and we let them cool.

For the Syrup

We boil the honey , the water, the flower water and the lemon peel together for about 2 minutes, We pour the syrup over the diples while it is still hot. Then we garnish with with the walnuts and cinammon
