Best and Priceless
|
| Unsalted butter, softened | 3 Tbsp |
| Granulated sugar | 3 Tbsp |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp |
| Eggs | 2 large |
| All purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Vegetable oil, for frying | 4 cups |
| Confectioners' sugar for dusting |
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to hold the fritters or galani before frying them. Line another cookie sheet with paper towel on which to drain the fried fritters.
- Whisk together softened butter, sugar, salt.
- Add eggs, one at a time. It's all right if the mixture appears separated.
Stir in flour and form a soft dough.- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 1 or 2 minutes until dough is smooth.
To knead dough, fold it on itself, then firmly push it away from you with the heel of your palm. Keep repeating these steps.
- When dough is smooth, roll it out to about 1/2-inch thick. Wrap it in plastic and allow it to rest at room temperature for about an hour.
- Working with 1/3 of the dough at a time, roll it out and cut it into 1 and 1/2" x 3" rectangles. Flour your work surface and dough as necessary.
- After cutting each piece, place it on parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Make a slash in the center about 1 and 1/2 inch long and thread one end back through it.
- Fry two or three galani at a time in a large pan, such as a Dutch oven.
- Constantly turn them over so that they color evenly. Remove them when they are light golden brown, and drain them off on paper towel.
- Cool carnival fritters to room temperature and generously dust them with confectioners' sugar before serving.
- This recipe makes about 50 small galani. Like most fried pastries, these carnival fritters are best the day they are made.
This is a chance to make your well-thought opinion known.:-)

"Oh my gosh, I just spent HOURS on your website! This is the epitome of a cookie website - I LOVE IT! I feel like I could keep reading on forever and still find new things. I am a die-hard cookie fan and passionate baker (even thought I'm only 23!), and this website has been the most informative I've come across so far - everything you need to know in one place. Thank you so much for all of the info! I would one day LOVE to sell my baked goods, and this website is definitely educating me on things I wanted to know. Thanks again, Holly."

"I'm the baker in my office and I love to bring treats on Monday morning. December was no-holds-bar baking month and now everyone is joking around and blaming me for their extra tummy pudge last year. The first Monday this month, I made your gluten-free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. They were a huge hit and everyone was surprised to find out that they were gluten-free and low fat. At about 4g of fat and 65 calories per cookie, everyone ate them up and are demanding more. I love your website and I look forward to trying all of your cookie recipes, Thanks."
