INGREDIENTS AND METHOD
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 egg
- 140g (0.7 cup) sugar

HOW TO MAKE FRIED COCOA SWIVELS :
Beat the egg with sugar and vanilla sugar until well combined.
Add oil to the mixture and stir thoroughly.
Incorporate water, flour, and baking powder into the mixture, kneading the dough until it forms a smooth consistency.
Divide the dough into two parts. Add cocoa to one part and knead until the cocoa is evenly distributed.
Roll out two cakes from the two dough portions.
Place one cake on top of the other, creating a roll. Wrap the roll and cut it with a thread.
Fry the swivels in a generous amount of oil until golden brown.
Allow them to cool slightly, and voilà – your Fried Cocoa Swivels are ready to be savored.
KITCHEN TIPS AND SHORTCUTS
Tip: To save time, make the dough ahead of time and put it in the fridge. This means you can always have newly fried swivels when you want them.
You can change the flavors by adding different sauces or fillings, like powdered sugar or chocolate sauce.
Perfectly Crispy: Make sure your oil is very hot before you fry to get that delicious crunch.
