EASIER.. buy a roll of dough and flatten with the roller until the dough is very thin , then fry it in hot oil. I sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.( opc) Buen apetito

Could you make sweet Luchis? Or would the sugar caramelize and get a bit messed up?

[digigeek]

Sure. The easiest way to do this is to just sprinkle them with sugar after they come out of the oil - just like salting french fries. Also, you could mix up some cinnamon sugar and sprinkle them with that.

Yes, you may add some suger in the flour. But use powder suger. And remember then use the salt only a little.

Not to be obtuse, but what do they taste like. It looks a lot like nan...and I love nan.

[dassoubarna]

It's something like nan but nan is heavy and thick. It's hollow inside and very light in weight. It's little bit salty. Try and enjoy.

Also, what is the texture like? I'm guessing crisp outside since it's fried, but still sorta soft and bread-like on the inside? In any case, it looks interesting.. may try it some time.
