Pestiños de Miel

Pestiños de Miel are delectable, honey-drizzled pastries from Spain, perfect for indulging your sweet tooth. These gluten-free treats are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a delightful dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free all-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 50 ml
• White wine - 50 ml
• Honey - 100 grams
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 1/2 liter for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the olive oil and white wine to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes or until smooth. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin oval shape, about 2 mm thick.
5. Fold each oval in half to form a semi-circle, then twist the ends to create a spiral shape. Secure the ends by pinching them together.
6. In a deep pan, heat the water for frying over medium heat until hot (about 180°C). Fry the pestiños in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes each side.
7. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pestiños and drain them on paper towels.
8. In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey until it becomes runny. Drizzle the honey over the warm pestiños and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
