Ingredients

• 1 cup semolina
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tea glass extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup crushed walnuts
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 2 cups granulated sugar (for syrup)
• 2 cups water (for syrup)

Method

1. First, boil sugar and water for the syrup, add a few drops of lemon juice to the boiling syrup, and let it cool.
2. In a deep bowl, knead semolina, flour, olive oil, sugar, and warm water to obtain a smooth dough.
3. Pinch off walnut-sized pieces from the dough and hollow out the center with your finger.
4. Fill the center with the walnut and cinnamon mixture, seal the edges, and shape slightly flat.
5. Fry both sides in hot vegetable oil until they turn golden brown.
6. Drop the fried pastries into the cold syrup while they are hot, let them soak for 3-4 minutes, and transfer to a serving plate.

For crispy desserts, it is crucial that the syrup is cold and the pastries are hot.
