Diples (Sweet fried bow knots)

Diples or Sweet fried bow knots in English, are very nice and very tasty. They have a beautiful golden colour and a beautiful shape. They look like bows. Their Greek name, “diples” means “folded” because we fold them in bows and then we fry them. We usually make them at Christmas.

To make them we need:

6 eggs

some orange peel grated

1/2 cup orange juice

some flour

2 cups of walnut

a little cinnamon

If you try to follow our recipes and make these desserts, we wish you good luck and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
