Children love this sweet treat. For a more "adult friendly" version, prepare and deep-fry the bow ties, then lightly dust with icing sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 package egg roll wrappers (4 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches - each wrapper makes 2 bow ties)
- 4 to 6 cups oil (for deep frying, as needed)
- For the Syrup:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water
Steps to Make It
-
Lay out a wrapper so that the longer (5 1/2 inch) sides are on the top and bottom, and the shorter (4 1/2 inch) sides on the left and right.
-
Cut each egg roll wrapper from top to bottom into 4 equal pieces.
-
Using a paring knife, cut a 1/2 inch slit in the center of each piece.
-
Using 2 pieces, one laid on top of the other, make a knot like a bow tie.
- Fold one end of the piece on top and thread it through the slit.
- Turn over, fold, and thread through the other way.
- Open the folded ends before deep-frying.
-
Heat wok and add oil. ​
-
Deep-fry the bow ties until golden brown, about 5 at a time.
-
Drain on paper towels or a tempura rack if you have one.
-
Boil the syrup ingredients in a pot on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
-
Dip the bow ties into the boiling syrup (if the syrup isn't boiling the bow ties will be too sweet), and drain well.
-
Set aside to harden.
Serve cold. (The bow ties can be stored in an air-tight container).
