Ingredients
Equipment:
Directions
- Stir the sugar and butter together in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Add the eggs, brandy, flour and salt to the bowl and knead the mixture well.
- Add water if necessary and knead until the dough feels completely smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough stand at room temperature for at least one hour to rest.
- Make thin rectangles with a rolling pin to a thickness of exactly 2 mm.
- Make three vertical cuts in the middle of each rectangle without slicing the ends.
- Fry them in hot oil until golden brown and sprinkle generously with sugar and cinnamon.
Recommended Drink Pairings:
Pair these crisp, sweet pastries with a chilled glass of Portuguese Moscatel de Setúbal, as its bright citrus and sweet honey notes perfectly complement the orange zest in the dough. A rich Tawny Port also beautifully enhances the warm cinnamon sugar coating. For a fantastic non-alcoholic option, serve alongside a robust Portuguese Galão espresso or a freshly brewed herbal tea.
