🥣 Dough Ingredients:
• 1 egg

• 5 tablespoons yogurt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar syrup
• 30 g butter (room temperature)
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour (about 200 g)

Dough Instructions:

First, mix the egg with the vanilla until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt with baking powder and let it rest for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add the yogurt mixture to the egg mixture and mix well.
Add the softened butter and combine.
Then add 1 tablespoon of sugar syrup and mix again.

Gradually add the flour while mixing and kneading until you get a soft dough with low stickiness.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.

After resting, roll out and cut the dough as shown in the video.
Cover the cut pieces with plastic wrap and fry immediately in hot oil until golden and crispy.
