Uruguay is a country situated in southeastern region of South America. Its borders with Argentina to the west and Brazil to its north and east. As i tancient in my preceding post, am running this week's blogging marathon with Explore Southern Hemisphere as theme. South America totally belongs to Southern Hemisphere obviously there was a lovely collection of beautwhetherul countries to check and cook from those countries. I opted for Uruguay as this Tortas fritas got my attention while i was googling for this theme. Simple to make these fried cakes or biscuits whatever you want call goes for easy breezy ingredients.
Tortas fritas means Fried cakes or Fried pies but this tortas fries are more like fried crispy biscuits. This fried biscuits are fairly popular in both Argentina and uruguay, where this dish is endelighted on rainy days aftermidday with their popular Yerba mate tea. While googling i crossed varieties of Tortas fritas with both yeast or with baking powder. Since i found those prepared with yeast came out extremely crispy and puffy than the baking powder ones, i prepared this Tortas fritas with yeast in it. Generally served with Dule de leche or jam, one can endelight this crispy fried biscuits without any guilt. Everyone at domestic endelighted thoroughly with our favourite hot chocolate.
2+1/4cup Every purpose flour
1tsp Salt
1/2tsp Instant yeast
1cup Milk
3tbsp Butter
Oil for frying
Sugar for coating
Flatten the ball with a rolling pin as lean circles, poke a gap in the middle of each circle with your finger.
