Ingredients

Flour 2 Pounds

Dry yeast 2 ounce

Kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon

Powdered sugar 3 Tbsp

Lukewarm water 3-4 Cup

Oil for frying

Syrup:

water 4 Cup

White sugar 2 Pounds

Rosewater 1 Tbsp

Instructions

Step 1

Mix together the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Gradually add lukewarm water until the batter reaches a moist and sticky texture. Allow it to rise for 90 minutes, punching the air out every 30 minutes.

Step 2

Lightly cover your fingers with oil before taking a handful of dough from the bowl and shaping into a ring by rolling it into a ball and poking your finger through to create the hole.

Step 3

Fry the sfinge in hot oil until both sides are golden brown. Carefully remove from heat and lay on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 4

To complete your sfinge, prepare the syrup by boiling together the water, sugar, rosewater over medium heat until thickened. Drizzle over top or serve as side for dipping!
