Boovs
Origin of the recipe
This unique fried cookie is often confused with Russian khvorost, but it's not as crispy and is fluffier and richer. Its ear-like shape has ritual significance and signifies attention to the wisdom of Buddha. Boovs, which are fried at datsans (monasteries), are often round or rectangular, with sacred symbols embossed on them.

Take flour for dusting from the total amount.
The amount of ingredients can be divided into two parts if you are not expecting many guests for tea.
Place the finished boovs on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
