Water: 2,5 dl
Milk: 2,5 dl
Butter or margarine: 100 gr
Salt: a pinch
Lemon: 1 strip of lemon zest
Flour: 300 gr
Eggs: 9
-
Cooking oil: as much as is needed
Sugar: as much as is needed
Powder cinnamon: as much as is needed
Preparation
Boil the water with the milk, butter, salt and lemon peel.
After boiling, remove the lemon zest and add the flour, always stirring until the dough forms a ball that is easily detached from the pan.
Pour the mixture into a bowl and, as soon as you are able to work it well by hand, add the eggs, one-by-one, mixing well the eggs with the dough.
In a frying pan with a considerable amount of cooking oil, pour teaspoons of the dough, only a few each time. After the dough grows, increase the heat to brown the sweets.
Sprinkle the dreams while they are still hot with a mixture of sugar and powder cinnamon.
Some people prefer to serve it covered with simple sugar syrup.
