Method

  1. Place the flour on a large surface and make a well in the center.
  2. Add the salt, sugar, oil, egg, and dry wine into the well.
  3. Mix everything by stirring in a circular motion with your fingers until a homogeneous dough forms.
  4. Gradually add the necessary water until you achieve a soft dough. It will be ready when it no longer sticks to your fingers.
  5. Knead lightly and let the dough rest for about an hour.
  6. Cut small portions of dough and roll them out with a rolling pin until they are about 3 millimeters thick.
  7. Cut the dough into strips.
  8. Fry the strips in hot oil until golden and drain them.
  9. Serve dusted with white sugar or accompanied by sweet and sour sauce.
