Preparation steps

1.

Bring 0.5 liter (approximately 2 cups) water, sugar and lemon juice to a boil and cook until reduced by half the original volume. For the dough: Bring 0.25 liters (approximately 1 cup) water, butter and salt to a boil, add the flour all at once and stir until smooth and a film forms on the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Vigorously stir in the eggs, 1 at a time, until the dough shines. With oiled hands, shape into 20 balls and a divot in this center with your thumb.

2.

Heat the frying oil to 325°F and deep-fry the dough balls until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. 

3.

Add the cakes to the hot syrup to coat, arrange on a serving plate and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Serve hot or cold with tea.
