Инструкции
- Orecchi di Aman For the Italian Jews orecchi di Aman are as synonymous with the festival of Purim as the Hamantaschen are for the Ashkenazim.
- In a small bowl, beat the Large eggs, egg yolks with the sugar, lemon rind, extra virgin olive oil, vanilla extract and rum. Gradually add in sufficient flour to make a rather soft dough. Turn out onto a floured working surface and knead for 2 or possibly 3 min. Roll very thin. With a pastry cutter or possibly sharp knife, cut into strips 1 inch x 4 to 7 inches. Slowly heat the oil in a small saucepan.
- (Oil is at the right temperature when a small piece of dough drops into it floats and begins to sizzle.) Fry a few strips at a time, twirling them to give them odd shapes till they are lightly golden brown. (Tie the longer pcs into a knot before frying them.) Drain and place on a paper towel. When all the ears are done, transfer to a large serving dish, sprinkling each layer with confectioner's sugar (through a sieve). YIELDS: 2 to 3 dozen
