Ingredients

  • 50g butter, soft
  • 90g sugar
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • 1 lemon
  • 0.5 tbsp cherry liqour (optional, I guess. use water otherwise)
  • 200g gf flour mix (I used once Schär universal and Schär bread mix. Both worked out fine)
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp fibre husk
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • mix butter, sugar and salt, add eggs and mix well until it's light in color and slightly "airy".
  • add lemon zest with liquor, mix.
  • mix flour, baking soda, fibre husk separately. combine the dry and wet components (do not knead the dough. should be mixed well enough and be sticky.)
  • put dough for at least 1hour in fridge.
  • part dough in about 16 pieces and "roll" them into about 5cm (ca 2 inch) long pieces. Ends should be a little thinner.
  • fry them in oil at 175°C (347 F) for 2 to 2.5 min on each side until they are a beautiful brown color. let them drain and cool on paper towel.
