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.

Spicy Chicken Noodles
No matter what recipe they're used in, rice noodles are a proven crowd-pleaser. I think this spicy chicken noodles dish is perfect for using up leftover chicken, assuming it wasn't horribly overcooked in the first place. If you did want to use raw chicken, go ahead and chop it up, and stir-fry it for a minute or two before adding your vegetables.
My Favorite Chicken Salad
This savory chicken salad is by far my favorite. I'm a huge fan of chicken salad and have tried many variations over the years. This recipe with simple, refreshing flavors and great texture is wonderful on a sandwich or served over a bed of lettuce.
