Greek Thiples
These are the best honey rolls posted for zwt ii. taken from a cookbook my late dm purchased at a local greek festival, written by members of the local greek orthodox church.
Steps
Beat eggs until very light.
Beat in the 2 cups flour and salt.
Work in the 1 / 2 cup of flour and a little more if needed.
Dough should be soft and does not stick to your fingers.
Turn dough onto a board and spread lightly with butter , working in butter with hands a little at a time.
Knead dough until it is smooth and soft.
Cut dough into 4 parts.
Roll one part on a floured board until paper thin , keeping remaining dough covered to avoid drying , until ready to use.
A ravioli machine may be used instead of rolling.
Cut into 2 x 6 inch strips.
Drop into hot oil , 365 degrees , and using two forks turn dough over immediately and roll quickly before it becomes to crisp.
Fry until very lightly browned.
Drain on absorbent paper.
Dilute honey with a little hot water and dribble over thiples.
Sprinkle with sinnamon and finely chopped nuts.
Thiples are best eaten with fingers as they break if pierced with a fork.
