Homemade sweets without an oven: Quick dessert with a taste everyone loves (Page 2 ) | February 10, 2025

To begin, prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, combine 1 1/4 cups of water, 2 1/4 cups of sugar, and two lemon slices. Let it boil for about 8 minutes. After this time, remove the lemon slices and pour the liquid into a glass dish. Set aside.

For the dough, pour 2 1/2 cups of water into a saucepan and add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil along with the sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Next, add the sifted all-purpose flour and the vanilla sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps.

Tip: If you prefer to use vanilla extract, add it to the water at the beginning of the preparation.

Once the dough is firm, smooth, and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, transfer it to a clean surface, such as a table or countertop. Knead it with your hands for a few minutes until it becomes completely uniform.

Place the dough into a piping bag with a wide tip, or, if preferred, use a plastic bag with one corner cut off. Shape the dough into rolls about 1 to 1.2 inches long.

Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan and fry the rolls until they turn golden brown. Remove them from the oil and immediately submerge them in the reserved syrup, leaving them in for about 1 minute.
