Korean Cookie Bows -Maejakkwa

Recipe courtesy of Lishie0729

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoons superfine sugar
• 3 tablespoons rice wine or dry sherry
• vegetable oil for deep-frying
• about 1/3 cup clear honey
• chopped pine nuts for coating

Stir together the flour and sugar, and slowly pour in the rice wine or dry sherry to make a smooth dough. Add a little water if necessary. Knead lightly on a floured surface, then roll out lightly to a thin rectangle.
Cut into 2" x 1" pieces. Cut lengthwise slit about 1 inch long in the
center of each piece. Pull one end of each piece through the slit so the
piece resembles a small bow shape. Heat the oil in a deep fat fryer to
330F. Add the bows a few at a time and fry for 4-5 minutes until rich
golden brown. Remove and drain briefly on a pad of paper towels. Meanwhile slowly, heat the honey (dilute with a little water if the honey is too thick). Dip the bows in the honey to coat, then sprinkle with chopped pinenuts.
