Pin Recipe

Ingredients

  • DOUGH
  • All-purpose flour- 4 cups ( plus extra for dusting)
  • Regular Shortening- 3 tbsp
  • Salt- ½ tsp
  • Vegetable Sunflower Oil - 1 ½ cup ( for deep-frying)
  • Honey- 5-6 tbsp / 70-80 ml
  • Grated rind of 1 lemon
  • Water as needed
  • FOR THE FILLING
  • Cream Cheese-5 cups / 500 gm
  • Semolina- 2 tbsp
  • Boiling water- ½ cup
  • Grated Rind of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Take a large bowl, put all the flour into it. Add the shortening and salt. Knead together, adding enough water. You should get a smooth, elastic dough.
  2. Cover the dough with plastic and allow to rest in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
  3. In the meanwhile let's prepare the filling. In a medium saucepan combine cream cheese, salt and boiling water. Whisk until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  4. Add semolina and whisk until you get a tick paste. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  5. Shape the mixture into flat pancakes 7 cm in diameter and about 1 cm thick. ( I advice to dip your hands in cold water first ).
  6. Use the clean cloth to dab any excess moisture off them.
  7. Remove the dough from the fridge, divide it in half. On a slightly dusted surface ,roll out each piece very thinly to make two even sheets.
  8. Put the cheese pancakes on one sheet of dough , evenly spaced.
  9. Cover with the other sheet of dough on top and gently roll the rolling pin around the edges to seal.
  10. Use the pastry wheel cutter to cut around each cheese fritter.
  11. In a medium pan heat oil. Fry the cheese fitters in batches until golden.
  12. Remove them using a slotted spoon, and drain on kitchen paper.
  13. Serve hot , drizzled with honey and sprinkled with lemon rind.
