Mitai recipe:

Ingredients:

3 cups TAIFA All Purpose flour 

1¼ cups (or less) water/ milk

1 tbsp yeast

1 tbsp margarine

½tsp baking powder

¼tsp ground cardamom powder

¼tsp #Sunsalt 

#HalisiFry

Preparation:

- Mix well all ingredients in a bowl except water. 

- Gradually add in water as you knead; to make a soft but firm dough ( not sticky). 

- Make 2 or 3 balls, roll them out slightly, and cut out thick (about ¼inch) squares /diamonds. 

- Cover the squares and set them aside for about 20mins to rise. 

- Heat up Halisi Fry oil in a deep frying pan and deep fry the Mitai in medium- low heat to allow them to cook well inside. 

- Once they achieve a golden tan on both sides, take them out of the oil to cool.

 

Sugar-Coating procedure:

- Boil 1½ cup of sugar in 1 cup of water until the syrup achieves a two-thread consistency when stretched between two fingers. 

- Add the Mitai to the syrup and turn the heat down to low. 

- Hold the sufuria on both sides and start tossing the Mitai so that the syrup coats them properly and evenly.

- Toss until the sugar coat crystallizes

Enjoy!
