Gato cravate

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp table salt

1/8 tsp ajinomoto

2 tbs vegetable oil

1/4 cup cold water

Vegetable oil, for frying

Method

Dissolve salt in water. Sift flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
Add baking powder, ajinomoto, oil and water. Knead to form a smooth, non sticky dough.
Roll out dough to about 0.5cm thick and cut into rectangles 7cm long x 3cm wide.
Make a vertical incision about 3 cm long through the centre of each piece of dough.
Push one end of the rectangle through the central incision to form a butterfly knot.
Shape all the pieces in a similar way while you heat oil in a large frying.
