Instructions

Beat the eggs with sugar in a bowl until pale. Gradually add the milk and yogurt, mixing well. Then add the baking powder, salt, and slowly incorporate the flour. Knead until a pliable dough forms, oiling your hands occasionally to prevent sticking.

Roll out the dough into a square sheet about a finger’s thickness. Cut into small diamond shapes with a sharp knife. Make a small hole in the center of each diamond, take one corner, fold it over, and thread it through the hole to create a bowtie shape (“otia”).

Fry the oatia in hot olive oil over low heat until golden (do not overbrown to keep them fluffy). Serve dusted with sugar or drizzled with honey.
