Fazuelos , fijuelas , hiuelas , deblas , or orecchie di Ammon ( Hebrew : פזואלוס / פיג'ואלס / דבלאס ) are Sephardic Jewish pastries of thin fried dough . In Sephardic tradition, they are eaten at Purim ; the Italian name recalls the shape of Haman 's ears, similarly to the Hebrew name for hamantashen , oznei Haman . [1]
Fazuelo are made by frying a thin dough of flour and eggs . Turkish Jews add brandy to the dough and Moroccan Jews eat them with cinnamon and syrup. They are similar to Andalusian Pestiños, but the latter are eaten with honey. [ citation needed ]
