Shakkar Pare (Sweet Fried Cookies)

Ingredients

3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp semolina
1/3 cup light cooking oil
pinch of salt
water as needed
oil for deep frying

Directions

Mix flour, sugar, semolina, salt and a 1/3 cup of oil with enough water to make a smooth firm dough.

Divide the dough into fist-sized balls and set aside. Heat enough oil in a deep wok or pan for deep frying.

For each ball of dough, roll it out into a circle of about 0.5 cm thickness. Cut the rolled out dough into strips vertically, and then again horizontally, making bite-sized square pieces.

Fry the pieces in hot oil till they turn golden brown. Remove on a paper towel to drain excess oil, allow to cool, and enjoy with hot coffee/tea.
