1 lb. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
oil for frying
2 cups sugar (for syrup)

Instructions:
Sift flour, baking soda and salt. Add enough water to mix a stiff dough. Knead dough well and let stand for a few minutes. Roll out dough and cut into thin strips. Fry in deep oil.
SYRUP:

After the syrup is thick enough, put in the strips of Metai and coat them with the syrup.
