Ingredients

Dough:

2 cups flour

1/2 cupbutter* (cold)

1 egg

a pinch of salt

a bit of water, if needed to knead the dough

**filling:

2 cups chickpeas (canned)

1 cup sugar

zest from 1 lemon or 1/2 orange

a pinch of cinnamon

2 egg yolks

(optionally: 1 handful ground almonds)

+ (optionally***) oil to fry

+ powdered sugar to sprinkle

Directions

1. Find a good movie and put a comfortable pillow under your back while peeling chickpeas

2. Knead all the dough ingredients together. You may need a little bit of water to make your dough elastic but it is optionally. I think that you can replace butter with *vegetable oil or *margarine. Some recipes require the use of *lard. If you have nothing against this ind of fat you should do your azevias with lard exactly, cause it is the most traditional and typical way. Set the dough in the fridge until you are finished with the filling.

3. Blend "naked" chickpeas with lemon zest, sugar, cinnamon (and optionally almonds) and yolks. If needed, add some water .

4. Roll the dough thinly on your workplace which should be sprinkled with some flour. Cut rings using the edge of a glass, mug or bowl, depending on the size that you wish to obtain. Proportional, put a tea- or tablespoon of a filling and close dough rings forming half-moons. Fry (***or bake!), sprinkle with powdered sugar and control yourself to not eat half of the portion before serving to your family!
