Gorgoria

Gorgoria

6 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
250 grams butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs beaten, then add enough evaporated milk to make 1 and 3/4 cups
cooking oil for frying

For the gorgoria glaze:
1 cup sugar
4 tablespons water
1 teaspoon syrup

Cooking Instructions:

• Sift together flour and baking powder into a bowl.
• In another bowl cream the butter and add the sugar.
• Add the egg-milk mixture alternately with the flour-baking powder mixture. Knead well.
• Form into thumb-size ovals and press with fork tines to shape into googoria shaped pieces.
• Fry in hot oil and make sure the gorgorias  are already golden-brown.
• Make the glaze by boiling together sugar, water and syrup until thickened or it reaches the thread stage (it is when the mixture forms a thread when a fork is dipped into the mixture when lifted). It is a bit tricky to coat the gorgorias if the consistency is too thick.
• Pour glaze into gorgoria until well coated. Do it quickly because the glaze will crystallized immediately.
