Waiting for a cook
Tunisia
Yoyos are Tunisian ring doughnuts: a soft dough of flour, eggs, oil and orange zest, shaped into rings by hand, fried golden and dipped hot into a syrup of sugar, honey, lemon and orange blossom water. They are finished with crushed pistachios or sesame and eaten with mint tea, and they are the classic sweet for Ramadan evenings, Eid and family visits. They are simpler than the nut-filled pastries of the north and just as loved.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 11 ingredients and 8 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
