Steps:
- Instructions Preheat oven to 375 F or 185 C Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper Using the paddle attachment, mix dough ingredient. Turn out dough on a floured board and incorporate more flour until you have a very soft workable dough. Roll out into pencil thin strips and cut into small (1/2 inch) pieces. They can be a little bigger. Teiglach puffs don't have to be perfect. Lay the pieces on the baking paper so that they don't touch and bake until they are puffed up and golden brown (about 20 minutes) Syrup In a saucepan, heat honey and sugar together and boil very gently for 3 to 5 miutes until just amber col0red. Lower the heat and stir in nuts and dough puffs tossing them with syrup and taking care not to break them. Shut flame. Prepare a lighly greased baking sheet Dip your hands in cold water. Poured the honey soaked dough puffs onto your baking sheet and mold them into pyramids. Let cool Teiglach are sticky. Store in airtight container. You can bake the teiglach first and then make syrup and assemble the next day. That's what I did.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375. Cover baking sheet with foil, shiny side up, and coat with vegetable spray (or, you may use a silicone liner instead).
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Place oil and sugar in mixing bowl and combine until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and mix thoroughly. Add dry ingredients in thirds. Batter will begin to form dough. Chill dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- To make filling, combine raisins, jam, walnuts, and coconut in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Roll chilled dough on floured wax or parchment paper to less than 3/16-inch thick. Cut in 2 and 3/4-inch circles using a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter.
- Place 1/2 teaspoon filling horizontally in the center of each circle. With floured hands, roll dough circles toward you, making neat little packages. Using the palm of your hand, roll each package toward you 2 or 3 times until it resembles something between a rugelach or a mini egg roll.
- Place on baking sheet and bake for 23 to 25 minutes, or until warm brown in color.
- Cool on baking sheet on a rack.
- To dip each cookie in honey, first coat a cooling rack with vegetable spray and place it on top of a foil-covered baking sheet.
- Place honey in heavy metal saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat so honey is at a low boil.
- Dip taglich, two at a time, into honey. Lift out with tongs and place on the prepared cooling rack.

TAYGLACH
I have looked high and low for this wonderful sweet from my childhood to no avail. I finally came up with a version that is very much the same in taste if not in looks. This is a treat for young and old alike. This recipe comes from one similar in an old cookbook from Temple Beth Israel with which I experimented.

Steps:
- Put the eggs, flour, and salt in a bowl and stir to make a soft dough. Turn out on a floured working surface and knead the dough 1-2 minutes. Shape it into a ball, flatten it with your hands, and sprinkle it lightly with flour.
- Roll the dough out to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. With a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips and dredge these long strips in flour. Then cut them into chickpea-size bits, and again dredge with flour to prevent them from sticking to each other. Scoop up the bits in a large sifter to remove the excess flour.
- Heat the oil in a small saucepan or wok and fry a handful of the bits at a time until lightly golden, stirring so they are an even color. Drain on paper towels and cool. You can also bake them, one third at a time, on an ungreased cookie sheet on the middle rack of a preheated 400° oven for 7 minutes.
- Bring the honey to a boil in a 6-cup heavy casserole and simmer over moderately high heat for 3 minutes. Add all the dough balls, the toasted and chopped hazelnuts, and the lemon peel and juice; cook over lower heat 7 minutes.
- Bring the honey to a boil in a 6-cup heavy casserole and simmer over moderately high heat for 3 minutes. Add all the dough balls, the toasted and chopped hazelnuts, and the lemon peel and juice; cook over lower heat 7 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
- Spread the toasted almonds over an oiled round serving platter and pour the hot mixture on top. Let it settle for a few minutes. When the mixture is cool enough to be handled, shape it into a circle with the help of a spoon and your moistened hands. Let it cool thoroughly at room temperature. It will harden a little. Either break off pieces with your fingers or cut into 2-inch segments.

Tips:
- Be patient and allow the dough to rest. Proper dough preparation is essential for creating the perfect tayglach. Chilling the dough enables it to hold its shape when cut and fried, leading to a more delectable texture. Avoid rushing the resting period.
- Fry the dough pieces in small batches. Patience is key to achieving evenly fried dough pieces. Overcrowding the oil with dough pieces can cause uneven cooking and result in a less than desirable outcome. Fry them in small batches to ensure they have enough space to sizzle and crisp up flawlessly.
- Maximize flavor contrast. An exquisite tayglach relies on the harmony of sweet and nutty flavors. Use high-quality honey for a rich, natural sweetness and complement it with crushed walnuts or almonds for a delightful crunch and nutty undertones. This combination of flavors is sure to create an unforgettable dessert experience.
- Store tayglach properly. Tayglach is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To maintain its crispiness, avoid storing it in the refrigerator, as this can cause the tayglach to soften.
Conclusion:
Embarking on a culinary journey to create tayglach is an experience that yields not only a delectable dessert but also a sense of accomplishment. By following the recipes and mastering the art of dough preparation, frying, and flavor balancing, you can indulge in the sweet, nutty delight of tayglach. This traditional dessert, imbued with cultural significance, is sure to be a hit among family and friends. Whether you choose to savor it fresh or store it for later enjoyment, the unforgettable taste and texture of tayglach will leave a lasting impression, making it a cherished addition to your culinary repertoire and a testament to your culinary skills.
