Brushwood is a crunchy cookie loved by many. However, some people refuse this delicacy during the fast. it is prepared using eggs. There are several recipes for making lean brushwood without them.
It is necessary
- - vegetable oil - 1 glass;
- - sugar - 2 tbsp. l. with a slide;
- - mineral water - 100 ml;
- - flour - 300 g;
- - baking powder for dough - 1/4 tsp;
- - lemon peel - to taste.
Instructions
Step 1
Pour sugar into a dry bowl, pour in sunflower oil and grind the sand with a wooden crush until the mass becomes almost homogeneous.
Step 2
Pour flour into a separate bowl, add baking powder and mix. Fill the mixture with mineral water and knead until the lumps disappear. Add a mixture of butter and crushed sugar to a bowl, mix until smooth.
Step 3
We put the dough on the table and roll it out with a rolling pin into a layer 0.5-0.7 cm thick. You don't need to sprinkle the table surface with flour, it doesn't stick anyway. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into rectangles 2.5-3 cm wide. In the center of each rectangle we make an incision, not reaching the edges by 1.5 cm. Take one edge of the rectangle and stretch it 1-2 times in the cut, we get a pigtail. You can also shape the brushwood into a flower or herringbone shape. We repeat the procedure with each rectangle.
Step 4
Pour the vegetable oil into a deep frying pan and bring it to a boil. We spread brushwood in it and fry over medium heat until golden brown. Put the finished cookies on a paper towel to get rid of excess oil. Then we transfer the brushwood to a flat dish and, if desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
