What are Fazuelos?

Fazuelos, fijuelas or deblas are traditional Sephardic pastries equivalent to hamantashen. They represent "Haman's ears" and they are usually eaten for Purim, although some families eat them for Yom Kippur.



Ingredients
For dough:
4 large eggs
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons baking powder
flour
For syrup:
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
juice from half a medium sized lemon

Directions
1. Mix all the ingredients together, adding as much flour little by little as needed to make a smooth non-sticky dough.
2. Divide dough into small balls, and roll to a thin leaf. Cut to make a strip.
3. In a deep-fryer, heat oil to medium heat. Hold the strip with a fork on one side, and slowly dip into the oil in a circular motion. Fry until golden, remove, then pat oil off with paper towel.
4. Bring syrup ingredients to boil. Mix until all sugar is dissolved.
5. Dip pastries in syrup, and leave to cool off.
