Ingredients

210 g of wheat flour and a little more for kneading.
1 tablespoon of white sugar and a little more for decorating.
A pinch of salt.
1 egg.
½ cup of orange juice.
1 teaspoon of unsalted butter.
Oil for frying.

Instructions

Mix the flour with the sugar and salt in a container.
On a flat surface, place the flour and make a hole in the center, there add the egg and mix well.
Now add the orange juice and the butter and continue stirring until it is integrated. Knead the dough with your hands for a few minutes until it is smooth. (If the dough sticks to your hands and the surface, add a little more flour to make it smooth).
Form a small ball with the dough, place it in a small container, and cover it. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, place the dough on a floured surface and flatten well with a rolling pin so that it is thin, approximately 2 mm or less, the thinner the dough, the better.
Cut the dough with a knife in the shape you want. Remove from the surface and fry it in oil at 180ºC until they are golden on both sides. Approximately 2 minutes on each side.
Remove from the oil, drain them on kitchen paper and immediately sprinkle well on both sides with granulated white sugar or with powdered sugar.
And they are ready to eat.
