- Persian Sweetfingers (Bamieh)
- A sticky, sweet confection.
- 4-5 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup flour
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
-
- Syrup
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup rose water
- a few drops of food coloring
- (yellow, orange or rose)
-
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the water and bring to a boil.
- Add the flour all at once, and stir with a wire whisk until it
- thickens. Cool. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after
- each addition. Heat the oil in a sauce pan. Force the dough
- through a pastry tube and drop a piece the length of a finger into
- the hot oil. Fry until it is just golden. Lift it out with a
- slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all the
- dough has been used up. When they are cool, dip each piece in the
- syrup until they are well coated.
