Saturday I was at Humphrey's Market and a brace of smoked pig ears jumped into
my trolley accompanied by a pair for fresh ham bones with scraps of bloody pork
adhering to them. Buffy and Buddy (my brother's Boston terrier/pug mix and
cocker spaniel) were/are in doggie heaven.

      Title: Les Oreilles De Cochon (Pigs' Ears)
 Categories: Cookies, Snacks
      Yield: 24 servings

      2 c  All-purpose flour
    1/4 ts Salt
      1 ts Sugar
      4 tb Butter
      2 lg Eggs
      1 tb Water
      1 ts Apple cider vinegar
           Lard for frying
      1 c  Cane syrup
    1/2 c  Sugar

  Sift the flour, salt, and sugar together. Rub in the
  butter with the fingertips as for pie dough. beat the eggs
  with the water and vinegar, then pour over the flour
  mixture and beat well. Turn the dough out on a lightly
  floured surface and knead it 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  Chill for 30 minutes; divide into 12 pieces.

  Roll out very thin, like pasta dough, into rough 5"
  squares. Cut each square in half on the diagonal. Fry the
  pieces in single layers in about 1/2" of hot fat at
  360oF/180oC; lard is traditional, but if you must you can
  use shortening. Turn once when golden brown. In the
  meanwhile, combine the syrup and 1/2 cup sugar in a
  saucepan. Cook to the soft crack stage, about 275oF/135oC.

  Drain the fried pastries on brown paper and drizzle about
  a tablespoon of the syrup over each. Eat at once.
