Mittai

Ingredients

• •1 1/2 cups of flour
• •1 tsp baking powder
• •1/2 tsp salt
• •1 cup yellow crystal sugar
• •Water
• •Vegetable oil

Directions

1. 1Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and just enough water to make a dough.
2. 2Cut the dough into small pieces, and roll into strings about ¼ inch in diameter and about 4 inches long.
3. 3Deep fry the dough strings in vegatable oil until golden brown, and place on paper towels or brown paper to soak up the excess oil.
4. 4Place in a separate bowl when the excess oil has been drained.
5. 5Boil the sugar with some water to make a syrup, then pour the syrup over the fried dough.
6. 6Shake/stir to get an even spread of the syrup, and allow to cool. As it cools, it hardens and the syrup changes to crystals, giving the mittai the crusty sugary outside appearance.
