Oreillettes

Oreillettes are a traditional French pastry, often made during the Carnival season. They are light, crispy, and dusted with powdered sugar.

Ingredients - Serves 6

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
Make a well in the center and add the melted butter, beaten eggs, and orange blossom water.
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
Cut the dough into rectangles or any shape you prefer.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F.
Fry the oreillettes in batches, turning once, until they are golden brown. This should take about 1-2 minutes on each side.
Drain the oreillettes on paper towels and dust them with powdered sugar while they are still warm.
