   Gutap - Deep Fried Herb Fritters
======================================
Makes 48 fritters 

Ingredients
-----------
10 tbsp. chopped scallions
3 tbsp. chopped parsley
3 tbsp. chopped dill
1.25 tsp. salt (divided)
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup lukewarm water
8 tbsp. unsalted butter


Instructions
------------
Combine herbs and toss together with salt and pepper. Cut butter into small pieces and
chill until the dough is ready. 

Put flour in mixing bowl. Make a well in center. Put the water, salt and 1 Tbs. of butter
into the well and slowly stir the flour into the other ingredients until well mixed. Beat
vigorously with a large spoon until a firm dough is formed. Gather into a ball and on a
lightly floured surface roll out into a rectangle, about 8” x 9”. Brush dough with the
other Tbs. of butter and fold into quarters. Roll dough out again as thin as possible and
cut into 48 squares. 

Place a tsp. of herb filling and a bit of butter on each square. Draw up the corners and
pinch firmly together to enclose the filling. Pour about 4” of oil into a deep-frying
saucepan and heat to 375. Fry 10 – 12 fritters at a time for 3 – 4 min. or until crisp
and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Serve right away.
