Pigs Ears
1 egg
1/3 cup butter
1.25 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
salt
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup chop pecans
Blend egg and butter. Stir flour with baking powder and salt. Beat egg mixture
into flour mixture until smooth. Divide mixture into 18 small balls. Roll each
on a floured surface until it is paper thin. Cover with a wet towel so that
dough doesn't dry out. Heat oil in pan to 375 degrees. Drop dough into oil and
as soon as it starts to surface, give a slight twist with the tines of a fork.
Pastry should have the look of a pig's ear. Fry for about 1.5 minutes until
brown. Drizzle with syrup and sprinkle with pecans.
