Hello friends of Steemit I hope you are well, although I miss a few days I will not post every time I have time, today I move quickly to leave a recipe that caught my attention, carrot sighs, I have always seen white and with a crispy texture, the sighs of carrot or sonhos de cenoura is a typical Portuguese dessert that is usually prepared on Christmas dates, so we can prepare them in each and enjoy them.
Ingredients for 30 carrot sighs:
Preparation:
The first thing we are going to do is peel the carrots and weigh them already clean (750 gr). In a pot we place the carrots in pieces with a pinch of salt, the peel of an orange and we cook until they are tender, once cooked, remove the orange peel and drain. We crush in a robot until they are mashed. Let cool and reserve, Put the yolks with sugar and orange juice in a bowl. Beat until cream (5 minutes) We sieve the flour and mix with the chemical yeast powder, In another bowl we place the egg whites and lift them to the point of snow, We incorporate the flour to the cream of the yolks, the mashed carrots and mix well with a rod, and we incorporate the mounted whites. With the help of a spatula we mix it making enveloping movements. Our cream will be ready and aerated to be fried.
In a container place the oil and heat. We have the precaution of not exceeding 175º / 185ºC, fill a spoonful of dough and with the help of another spoon we push it. When it rises to the surface of the oil, we turn it over with the skimmer. Fry for 1 minute minimum and until golden brown. During all this operation we will watch the fire, turning it off and it is necessary so that it does not overheat. Once fried, place on absorbent paper and let it drain. On a plate we mix cinnamon and sugar and cover the carrot sigh.
