Fazuelos, fijuelas, deblas, or orecchie di Ammon (Hebrew: פזואלוס / פיג'ואלס / דבלאס) are Sephardic Jewish pastries of thin fried dough. In Sephardic tradition, they are eaten at Purim; the Italian name recalls the shape of Haman's ears, similarly to the Hebrew name for hamantashen, oznei Haman.[1]
