Díples (deep fried dough squares with honey)
3 cups flour
3 cups sugar
3 well beaten eggs
1 small grated lemon rind
1 1/2 tbspns light vegetable oil
2 glasses light vegetable oil for deep frying (more if necessary)
1 1/2 cups honey
100 gr crushed walnuts
ground cinnamon for sprinkling
Empty the flour into a bowl and dig a small trench in the centre. Add the eggs, 2 cups of the sugar, the lemon rind and the 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil into the trench. Kneed everything well until it becomes a tight dough. Divide the dough into halves and open the halves into flat thin sheets and cut the them into largish rectangles.
Heat the oil well in a deep medium pot and drop the dough rectangles in one by one twisting them with a fork as they sink into the oil. Fry them until they are golden. When removing the fried 'Díples' from the oil strain them on kitchen paper and then place them in a large dish.
Boil the honey with the remaining cup of sugar. Remove the froth that will have formed on the surface of the syrup and pour the syrup over the Díples. Sprinkle the Díples with the cinnamon and walnuts and enjoy them hot.
