Syrian Sweet Dough Fingers

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups flour
• 4 eggs
• A pinch of vanilla
• Syrup
• First, we start by preparing the dough:

Method

1. Place the water with the two tablespoons of sugar and the quarter cup of oil over the heat until it comes to a boil.
2. Turn off the heat and add the flour, stirring until the mixture comes together into one mass ... leave it to cool ... then add the eggs, one at a time.
3. Whisk until the mixture absorbs all the eggs and becomes smooth like cream, adding half a teaspoon of vanilla and, if desired, a little lemon zest.
4. Fry the Balah al-Sham pieces in hot oil after piping them into a cream bag (pastry bag)
5. Pour the cold syrup over the pieces of Balah al-Sham immediately after frying while they are still hot. For garnish, sprinkle the Balah al-Sham pieces with powdered sugar and cinnamon
