YoYo



The YoYo is a yeast fritter that is eaten and many countries such as Algeria, Libiya, Morrocco and Tunisia. It has a crispier outside then the European and American varieties. The best thing about these is that you DO NOT USE EGGS, FAT OR MILK  !!!!!!
YoYo is made with orange juice, deep fried, then dipped in honey syrup. The most common shape is ring shaped but there are many varieties available like a ball shape that includes a plum filling.
They are often eaten as a sweet treat or served to children at breakfast.




Serves: makes 4 rings




Ingredients:



7g sachet dried yeast 
1 tbsp white sugar 
60ml (¼ cup) orange juice 
1 orange, zested 
2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra, to deep-fry 
300g (2 cups) plain flour, sifted 

Honey syrup:

2 tbsp lemon juice 
110g (½ cup) white sugar 
360g (1 cup) honey 
2 tsp orange-blossom water* (optional)




step 1:


Place yeast, sugar and 125ml (½ cup) lukewarm water in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes or until the mixture bubbles. Add orange juice, zest and 2 tbsp oil, and stir to combine. Place flour and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour yeast mixture into the well and stir until combined. 


Step 2:


Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. (Alternatively, use an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook.) Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 2 hours or until dough doubles in size. 


Step 3:


Meanwhile, to make honey syrup, place lemon juice, sugar and 250ml (1 cup) water in a pan over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Add honey and orange-blossom water, if using, then reduce the heat to low–medium and cook mixture for 35 minutes or until the consistency of runny honey; watch syrup to make sure it doesn’t boil over. Transfer to a large bowl and cool. 



Step 4:


Fill a deep-fryer or large pan one-third full with oil and heat over medium heat to 180°C (or until a cube of bread turns golden in 15 seconds). Working in batches, tear off a piece of dough about the size of a plum and flatten slightly with your hand. Tear a hole in the middle and stretch dough to make a 12–15cm ring. Gently drop dough into oil and deep-fry, turning halfway, for 4 minutes or until crisp, golden and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. 


Step 5:

Using a skewer, pierce yo-yo on both sides, then soak in honey syrup for 4 minutes each side. Serve immediately. 



Now in Tunisia they would say " وجبة شهية. " which means;



                                                     " Enjoy your Meal"




Where can we find Tunisia in the world?
