Description

Gosh Feel, also known as Elephant Ear pastries, are delicate, airy fried dough treats that offer a delightful contrast between a crispy exterior and a soft, tender interior. These international-style pastries are incredibly simple to make using pantry staples like flour, milk, and eggs. The subtle warmth of ground cardamom adds an aromatic depth that pairs perfectly with the light sweetness of confectioner's sugar. Ideal for serving as a snack with coffee or tea, these pastries bring a comforting, homemade touch to any gathering. They are best enjoyed fresh while still warm, allowing the flavors to truly shine.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl until frothy and well-combined.
  2. Beat in the sugar and salt until fully dissolved into the eggs.
  3. Stir in the milk and oil until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead in additional flour as needed until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
  5. Place the dough on a cloth, cover it, and let it rest.
  6. Take small pieces of dough, about the size of a large hazelnut, and roll them out into thin circles on a floured surface.
  7. Heat oil for deep-frying in a large pot to 190&# 194;°C (375ðF).
  8. Fry the pastries one at a time, turning them over to ensure even cooking on both sides until golden and puffed.
  9. Remove pastries from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
  10. Sift confectioner's sugar mixed with ground cardamom over the warm pastries.

Note

Store leftovers in a sealed container at room temperature to maintain crispness.

For a sweeter variation, drizzle the fried pastries with a simple syrup made by boiling 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water until dissolved, then boiling for 5 minutes.

Finely chopped pistachios can be sprinkled over the pastries along with the sugar for added texture and flavor.

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the pastries from absorbing too much oil and becoming greasy.
