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.

Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Meatballs
These chicken Cordon Bleu meatballs are ham-stuffed chicken meatballs topped with a creamy Swiss cheese sauce. They are delicious served over zucchini noodles, mashed cauliflower, or simply on their own! A great way to use up leftover ham. I've used diced ham, however cubed ham works better as the meatballs keep their shape better. Grate your own cheese; it melts much better than the pre-shredded variety.
