A variation of a traditional Mennonite recipe, these deep-fried pastries are typically served with cold watermelon slices. It's a wonderful combination on hot summer days or at picnics.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups canola oil for frying
Instructions
-
1
Place eggs in a large mixing bowl, and beat until frothy. Gradually beat in the flour and salt to make a soft dough. Roll out the dough to be fairly thin, about 1/8 inch, and cut into 2-inch by 5-inch strips. Cut a slit down the center of each strip, and twist so one end slides through the slit and makes a loop.

2
Heat 1 ½ inches of oil in a deep skillet (or use a deep-fat fryer) to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
3
Cook dough in small batches in preheated oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm or at room temperature.
