I have flour and thought of what snack to make with it. The idea came to me and I baked these beautiful golden babies. So soft and delicious. I served it with tea at Iftar. My family and I enjoyed it.

  Ingredients:
3 cups flour (sifted/seived)
1 tbsp yeast
1/2 cup margarine
1/3 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 large egg
1/4 or 1/2 cup milk (dilute powdered milk with some water)
 
   Method
Soak the yeast with half medium 
cup of warm water, add 1 tbsp sugar, stir and allow to proof for 5 minutes.

  Combine the flour, sugar, salt, stir and add margarine. Mix well. Stir in the yeast and milk, mix. Knead to form a soft dough.

  Grease the bowl and place the dough. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

  Sprinkle some flour on a board and knead the dough for a minute. Divide the dough into 2. Keep one aside.

  Mould the first dough into ball and roll  with a rolling pin. It should be 10 inches or 12 inches. The shape should be circle. If it's not circle, get a round object and cut it to give you circle shape. Cut into wedges; you can get up to 10 or less than 10 pieces. Fold one after the other into Crescent Rolls. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.

  Place a baking sheet or parchment paper In a baking tray. Rub margarine on the sheet, gently place the crescent rolls on the baking sheet. Cover and allow to double in size for 30 minutes.
 Bake in preheated oven for 10 - 15 minutes or till golden brown. Brush the top with melted margarine. I sprinkled some sesame seeds on top. Serve.

This is my second attempt of making churros. It's a very simple snack. So soft and delicious especially when dipped into Chocolate Syrup. And one more thing I like about this snack is, it's light.
   I don't have a big nozzle, so I used the small one. That's why it's not as big as the normal churros, in terms of size. Hope you will try it. Feel free to drop your comments below. Thank you 😊

  Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 vanilla flavour
1 cup water

For coating:
1/2 cup sugar
2-3 tbsp cinnamon

     *Method*
Sift the flour and set aside.

 Combine the sugar, margarine, salt and water in a medium pot and bring to the boil. Stir till the margarine melt. Reduce the flame to low and stir in the flour little at a time. Till free of lumps. Remove from the fire and allow to cool for 3 minutes. Put in a  medium bowl, add eggs and vanilla flavour. Blend with a hand mixer till combined.
  Pour in a piping bag with star nozzle or any nozzle for churros.

  Place a frying pan on the fire. When hot, pipe the mixture in the hot oil batch by batch; don't over crowd the pan. It should be a bit long like it is in the picture. Fry till golden brown. Remove from the pan and strain on a serviette.
 Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Coat the churros in the cinnamon-  with sugar.
Serve with chocolate syrup and enjoy!
