Thiples - Diples - Traditional Sweet with Honey

Ingredients:
6 eggs
2 cups of oil
2 cups of brown lye
2 cups of brandy
Soft flour or farina-up (as much as it takes to become tight)
Oil, salt


For the syrup:
2 teacups honey
2 teacups sugar
2 teacups water
Cinnamon stick


For sprinkling:
2/3 cup of grated walnuts
1/3 cup of grated almonds
Grated cinnamon
Roasted and crushed sesame seeds

 

Instructions:
Knead the ingredients and let the dough rest for about half an hour. Knead the dough into thick phyllos of 2 millimeters and cut strips with the specific wheel to 15 cm long and 4-5 cm wide. Pour oil in the fryer. With the dough, create bows, by pushing the dough in the middle. Pour the bows in the fryer, as soon as oil is hot enough. Pour as many bows as they all need to be covered in the oil.

 

Meanwhile, you need to prepare the syrup with honey, sugar, water and cinnamon stick. When they boil, remove the foams and when it is clean, let it simmer. With a slotted spoon drain and put the bows on the platter. There, sprinkle with the walnuts and the almonds that you have already shuffled along with sesame grind and the cinnamon powder.

 

Notes: Thiples can be made in many designs, depending on your imagination. The lye is done with pure ash. Boil as much as you want for a while, let it settle for 24 hours and take the water with caution!

We boil the octopus and we cut in pieces of 1 ½ to two centimeters in length. We peel the onions and the garlic, we finely chop them, put them in a tavas with the oil and we sauté over low heat. When they are brown we pour half a litre of water and the tomatoes which have been grated .

Honey Cakes (Melomakarona)

We beat the oil with the sugar. We dilute the bicarbonate soda and the baking powder in the cognac and  pour this mixture in the oil and the sugar. We add the rest of the ingredients ( except for the flour ) and mix them well. We pour the  flour little by little ( perhaps  not all of it )  and knead until the dough doesn’t get stuck on our hands. We shape the honey cakes, put them in an oiled baking pan and bake them in a medium temperature for half an hour. We prepare the syrup and let  it be cold. As soon as we remove the honey cakes from the oven, we dip them in the syrup and put them in a platter. We sprinkle them with ground walnut pith.
