I woke up cleaning and day ended the same way, it is never ending job...around here anyway. While cleaning the kitchen sink I cut myself on a piece of china I didn't see. I slid my finger on this tiniest piece of china and the blood starting pouring out. It is still sore but I still managed to cook for my four kangaroos today.
I made the kids this Chilean biscuit, not really a biscuit but wouldn't know what to class it as. They are called calzones rotos which translates 'torn underwear'. It is a dough that is cut into rectangles with a slit in the middle, one end is passed through the slit forming a twist. They are then fried and when golden sprinkled with a lot of icing sugar yum!. I've included the recipe, just in case ;)
Calzones Rotos
3 cups of plain flour
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg & 2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon of grated orange rind
Sift flour, baking powder and icing sugar into a bowl.
Add softened butter, egg, egg yolks and orange rind and form into a dough. If too dry add water (I usually add 1/2 cup). Knead dough until soft and not sticky.
Roll out dough on a floured board leaving it quite thin 1-2cm and cut into rectangles. Cut a slit in the middle but not too large just big enough for one end to pass through.
Heat oil in frying pan and when hot fry a couple at a time. Draining well when they are lightly browned and while still warm sprinkle with icing sugar. Enjoy!
