Turnovers

.jpg "Turnovers<br/>(Diples)")
Ingredients
2 cups of flour
3 eggs
4 tablespoonfuls of brandy
1 teaspoonful of baking powder
2 tablespoonfuls of sugar
Olive oil
1 cup of honey
½ cup of warm water
Coarsely chopped walnuts
Cinnamon
Method
Mix the flour with the baking powder in a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Beat the eggs with the sugar and the brandy and add this to the flour, kneading well. Allow the dough to stand for half an hour and knead again. (Maybe half a cup of flour more may be required, but do not add this until you are sure if it is needed). Roll out the dough into a thin sheet then cut it into strips which can be tied in bows or knots or any shape you wish. Put plenty of oil in a frying pan to heat. The turnovers must be fried in very hot oil. When they have browned lightly, remove them from the heat and allow them to drain on absorbent kitchen paper. Prepare the honey syrup by dissolving the honey in warm water. Pour it over the turnovers, which have been placed on a flat dish.
Sprinkle with walnuts and cinnamon.
