In some places they are a traditional Christmas treat, in others an Easter one. I like them both, but I prefer this one for the long Easter Lent, since there are no eggs in it. So, Let's Rock:
We need:
For the dough:
- 1 & 1/2 tall glass of olive oil
- 2 tall glasses full of water
- 1 small wine glass full of sugar
- 1 sachet of vanilla powder or 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 sachet dry yeast
- 1 sachet baking powder- 1 kgr of plain flour
For the stuffing:
- 100 gr of walnuts, roughly grounded
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp clove powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
For the syrup:
- 1 lt of water
- 1 kgr of sugar
- 1 lemon peel
Extra Grounded Coconut for the icing.
1) Mix the ingredients for the stuffin in a small bowl.
2) Boil the ingredients for the syrup for 4-5 minutes and keep it warm.
3) In a large basin put the olive oil, the water, sugar, dry yeast, and vanilla and mix them with your hand until the sugar is disolved. Slowly, add the flour and the baking powder and mix until you have a soft dough which does not stick to your hands. Cut small balls from the dough, the size of a small egg, make a little hollow opening, put inside half a tsp of the stuffing and close the opening. Lay a sheet of baking paper on your baking tray and arrange the little rocks in rows, leaving some distance between them. Bake them in preheated oven at 180 C, for about 30 minutes. While they are still hot, drop them in the syrup and let them absorb it, until the second batch comes out of the oven. Arrange them on beautifuul platters and dust them with grounded coconut.
