Ingredients: 3 1/4
Cups
sifted flour
(or a little more) 6
Tablespoons
granulated sugar 1
Teaspoon
salt 2
eggs 3
Tablespoons
yogurt 1/2
Cup
milk
Vanilla or rosewater
optional
Oil for deep-frying
Powdered sugar
Directions:
One of the smallest and least-known ethnic groups in our
country are the Tatars. They represent an area officially
known as Tatarstan, 500 miles east of Moscow. This is a
sweet they prepare on traditional holidays. KOSH TILI means
"birds' tongues", in this case, the birds would have to be
pretty big. (G)
Sift together flour, granulated sugar and salt. Add eggs,
yogurt, milk and optional dash of vanilla or rosewater. Mix
well with spoon, then pour out onto lightly floured work
surface and knead until smooth. Divide dough into 4
parts. Place 1 piece of dough on floured board and roll out
1/8-inch thick. Using a knife or crimp-edged cutter, cut
into strips about 1-1/2 or 2 inches wide and 6-8 inches
long. Using knife, cut a 1-1/2-inch slit in middle of
each strip. Take 1 end of each strip, fold it through slit
and pull out on the other side. Repeat with remaining dough
strips. Heat oil for deep-frying. Fry 1 or 2 dough strips
at a time, holding under surface of oil until puffed and
golden brown. Drain finished fritters in colander, then
place on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Makes 8 to 12 servings.
NOTE: The recipe gave no frying temperature, so you'll
have to FIND the best temp. I guess. Wis/Gramma
