Tunisian baked specialty

Mix the dough ingredients and knead into a dough. Then let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes. After the short rest, divide the dough into small portions, roll out as thinly as possible, and cut into strips. Fill a small pot with oil and heat it. Wrap the strips with a fork and place them in the oil, which should not be too hot. When the “judge’s ears” have firmed up, remove the fork and fry the “ears” until golden brown. For the syrup, combine all ingredients except the lemon juice in a pot and bring to a boil. Only then add the lemon juice. Place the “ears” in the syrup. Feel free to leave them in for a little longer so they don’t become too dry later.
