Dessert Holiday

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup organic date syrup (traditional), molasses, or sugar
  • 2 cups rice flour
  • Cooking oil for deep frying

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the molasses and rice flour. Knead the mixture well until it forms a smooth, pliable dough. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a little water to achieve the desired consistency.
  2. Heat cooking oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Take small portions of the dough and shape them into round or oval discs, about the size of your palm.
  4. Carefully slide the shaped dough into the hot oil and fry until it puffs up and turns golden brown. Be cautious when frying, as the oil will be very hot.
  5. Remove the fried handesh from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Allow the handesh to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Handesh makes for a delicious breakfast or a delightful snack with a cup of tea.
