funny thorns

Perhaps the most difficult thing in cooking is cooking for children. For them, every detail is important, and children have special requirements for the appearance of the dishes offered. They need everything to be beautiful, interesting, fun... I have one such recipe in my home collection. My kids nicknamed this dessert “funny thorns.” How appropriate this name is, you can decide for yourself.

To prepare funny thorns you will need:
- two eggs;
- a pinch of salt;
- one glass of flour;
- a quarter cup of sugar (or a bag of ready-made powdered sugar) for decoration;
- vegetable oil.



Beat the eggs a little with salt.
Add flour and knead into a stiff dough. Roll it out into a thin layer and cut into strips nine to ten centimeters long and one and a half to two centimeters wide.



Make a “fringe” on one side of each strip.
Roll it up to make something like a tassel.





Place in boiling oil just a little bit so that the dough “sets” (the main thing here is not to overcook, otherwise the thorns will turn out dry and tasteless).



“Dry” the finished spines with paper napkins and then place them on a plate. Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar from sugar crushed in a coffee grinder.
