My nona never measured the ingredients so i am without a recipe/,all i know is that she rolled the dough into a circle and made slits then pinched it tightly before immersing it in the oil.. After turning a beautiful amber color they were placed on paper towels to cool before sprinkling lightly with powdered sugar.. My nona's dough was light and just slightly sweet and melted in your mouth .. Unfortunately most other Turk Heads are tasteless, anything but light and delicious proving that good baking like good cooking cannot be rushed and one must be meticulous with ingredients!!!!!ladylordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07467199377388259866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-89332813491424962152011-07-01T14:10:03.604+10:002011-07-01T14:10:03.604+10:00Thanks 'Anonymous' - Is the pastry meant t...Thanks 'Anonymous' - Is the pastry meant to represent a turban (given that 'Turk's' and 'Arabians' were all the same to many Europeans!!) ??The Old Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766403052971301718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-53472450456175013322011-07-01T03:10:31.715+10:002011-07-01T03:10:31.715+10:00Teste Di Duca is a Sicilian pastry.
