Ingredients

• Apricot jam
• 1 egg
• Powdered sugar
• Corn oil for frying (or sunflower)
• 250 g of natural yogurt (or kefir)
• 50 g powdered sugar
• Vanilla sugar (to taste)
• 1 egg
• 300 grams of flour
• 7 g baking powder.

Preparation of the dough

To begin, in a deep bowl, pour the yogurt and add the egg, powdered sugar and vanilla. Use a whisk to incorporate the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Then, add the sifted flour and baking powder in two stages. Initially, mix with a spatula and then knead with your hands until you have a smooth, non-sticky dough.

Extension and Cutting of the Dough

Sprinkle a little flour on a work surface and transfer the dough onto it. Roll it out with a rolling pin until you get a thin rectangular sheet. Then, cut the sheet into strips about 4-5 cm thick using a special dough knife with a serrated blade.

Filled with Jam

Place a teaspoon of apricot jam on half of the dough strips, leaving a distance between each portion. Then, brush the edges of the strips with egg white to seal them. Take the clean strips one by one and place them on the ones with jam, pressing the edges well with your fingers.

Frying the Snacks

Heat enough vegetable oil in a frying pan and add the bites. Fry them over medium heat on both sides until golden brown. Once ready, remove them and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Decoration and Serving

Sprinkle the bites with powdered sugar and serve them with a hot drink. Get ready to enjoy an irresistible dessert with your loved ones!

Helpful tips

• When cutting the dough, if you don’t have a special knife, you can seal the edges with your fingers to prevent them from falling apart during frying.
• You can experiment with different flavors of jam to vary the taste of the bites.
• Make sure the oil is at the right temperature before frying the bites to get even browning and prevent them from becoming oily.
