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.

Italian Tuna Spread
This Italian tuna spread recipe makes a great addition to an antipasti spread. Serve it with crostini, Melba toast, or crackers at room temperature. Store it, covered, in the refrigerator. To reuse, bring it back to room temperature; do not microwave to reheat; it will turn to goop. This also makes the best tuna fish sandwich you will ever have. Use iceberg lettuce, toasted bread, and a thin slice of tomato. Yum!

Snickerdoodles With a Hint of Ginger
This is based on Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles (it's an excellent recipe; you should try it). These cookies came out soft with a touch of ginger. If you don't have oat flour use a food processor or blender to pulverize oatmeal.
