Gosh e Fil / Elephant Ears Pastries

Gosh-e fil  is an Afghan and Iranian doughnut made by shaping dough into the shape of an ear (gosh), and deep-fried in oil. Each shape is then topped with chopped or powdered pistachios and powdered sugar or sugar syrup. The Afghans usually make gosh-e fil for Eid ul-Fitr (religious celebration). Main ingredients for  this recipe  eggs, all purpose flour, sugar and pistachios.

Ingredients:-

2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour divided
1/2 cup clarified butter or vegetable oil
salt a pinch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup lukewarm milk
2 tablespoons powdered pistachios
1/2 cup powdered sugar or u can use sugar syrup
Required oil for deep fry

Method:-

Take ingredients in mixing bowl (Eggs, baking powder, salt and clarified butter) mix it.

Add all purpose flour n make soft n smooth dough by adding little by little lukewarm milk.

Turn the dough onto a rolling pin board (using a bit of remaining ½ cup), sprinkle the dough with more of the remaining flour and knead for 10 minutes, using flour when needed. Dough will be somewhat sticky, but have a smooth gloss to it. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, pull off a piece of dough about the size of a large cherry tomato.

Roll into a flat 3½" x 4" oval. Take one side of the oval and fold it over to the other side, crimping edges together. It will resemble an elephant ear.

Make more “ears,” deep frying them, in batches, in heated oil. Turn to cook evenly till golden, remove, and drain on paper towels.
When cool sprinkle with powdered sugar and pistachios.

Serve immediately or store on air tight jar.
