How to make candy toast

I don't know exactly where is this recipe from. I have been taught this recipe so many years ago when I was child. This recipe is very light, crispy  from outside and soft from inside. It is very easy and it is made mainly from toast bread.

The ingredients: 

1 bag of toast bread.
1 small bowl of water.
Oil to fry

For the syrup:

2 cups of sugar
1 cup of water
1 small spoon of lemon juice.


First, cut off the brown edges of the toast bread piece.

Cut the white part into quarters.

Flat the pieces with the rolling pin.

Roll the piece and wet your hand with some water to close the end of the roll

Do the same for all the bread pieces.

In a medium heat and small pot put the sugar and the water. Don't stir just leave it to boil until you get the thickness you like for the syrup. The syrup need to be cool before using it.

Fry all the pieces in the oil over a medium heat. Try to be fast and careful because they turn into gold very quickly.

Get out the rolls from the oil and immediately drop them into the cool syrup. Leave them for 30 seconds and get them out of the syrup.

You are done. Just feel free to eat with chocolate syrup, with cream or with nuts. I hope you liked the recipe. See you next post.
