Ingredients
- 17¾ oz plain flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 oz sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 Tbsp neutral oil, plus more for deep-frying
- 4 Tbsp milk, warmed
- 13½ Tbsp warm water
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 oz honey
- 2 oz butter
Method
- Whisk the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the oil, warm milk, warm water, and egg and mix to a soft dough.
- Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and leave in a warm place for about 25 to 30 minutes, until puffy and nearly doubled.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about ¼ in thick. Cut into strips about 1¼ in wide, then into diamonds or rectangles. Make a small slit in the centre of each piece and pull one end through to form a twist, if you like.
- Heat oil for deep-frying to 350°F. Fry the pieces in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until puffed and deep golden. Drain on paper towels.
- Warm the honey and butter together until melted. Drizzle over the hot pishme, toss gently to coat, and serve warm.
