Chak-Chak

Ingredients

• •For the dough:
• •2 cups all-purpose flour
• •1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• •1/4 teaspoon salt
• •1/2 cup milk
• •1 egg
• •2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• •For the syrup:
• •1 cup honey
• •1/2 cup sugar
• •1/4 cup water
• •1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

1. 1In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, egg, and vegetable oil and mix until a smooth dough forms.
2. 2Knead the dough for a few minutes, then cover it and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. 3On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into small pieces using a knife or pizza cutter.
4. 4Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the dough pieces in batches, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. 5Remove the fried dough pieces from the pan with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain.
6. 6In a separate saucepan, combine the honey, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved.
7. 7Reduce the heat to low and simmer the syrup for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
8. 8Remove the syrup from the heat and add the fried dough pieces to the pan. Stir gently to coat the dough pieces evenly with the syrup.
9. 9Spoon the coated dough pieces onto a greased baking sheet, spreading them out evenly.
10. 10Let the Chak-Chak cool and harden for a few hours, then break it into small pieces and serve. Enjoy!
