    Bow ties with lemon syrup

    Serves: 12
    Cooking Time: 25 mins

    Ingredients

    • BOW TIES

    • 1 x 400g roll shortcrust pastry
    • sunflower oil, for deep-frying
    • SYRUP

    • 200g sugar
    • 200ml water
    • zest of 2 lemons

    Instructions

    1

    Roll the pastry out onto a lightly floured surface until very thin.

    2

    Cut the pastry into strips about 6cm – 8cm long and 5cm wide, and cut a slit in the centre of each rectangle lengthwise. Place two rectangles on top of each other and fold the two short sides in to form a bow. Press the corners gently to stick the two rectangles together.

    3

    Heat the oil to hot and fry the bow ties until golden. Drain on paper towel and keep warm.

    4

    For the syrup, heat the sugar and water in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to the boil.

    5

    Add the lemon zest and reduce the syrup by half. Drizzle the hot syrup over the warm bow ties. Let it soak into the bow ties to harden before serving.
