List of Ingredients
3 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 lemon, the rind & juice
6 eggs separated
1 1/2 oz. whiskey
1 1/2 oz. Anisette
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
Recipe
- Heat vegetable oil 1 inch deep in a large pot until just below the smoking temperature.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour and baking powder.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks.
- In a large bowl, mix the egg yolks and sugar. Then mix in the lemon rind and juice, oil, whiskey, Anisette and flour with baking power.
- Fold the egg whites into the large bowl.
- The dough will be sticky and wet so work with oil on your hands. Pick up some dough and form it into a roughly 3/8" x 1 1/2" shape while dropping it into the oil. The exact shape isn't important, a bit of variety is actually perfect.
- Let them cook for a few minutes in the oil. They will usually flip over on their own (!!!) when they are done on one side. Cook until evenly light-golden brown.
- Put into a dish and pour honey over all.
