Many European cultures had this type of fried cookie. This particular recipe says to tie it in a knot but it can be made pulling one end through a slit cut into the dough.

Yield 84

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs
¼ cup white sugar
2 ½ tablespoons shortening
2 ½ tablespoons brandy
2 teaspoons anise seed
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for decoration

Steps:

  • In a large bowl beat together eggs and sugar until thick and light colored. Then beat in shortening, brandy, anise seeds (optional) and salt. Beat in flour gradually.
  • On a floured surface, knead dough into a smooth ball. Divide ball into two equal pieces, wrap in waxed paper and chill in refrigerator for at least two hours.
  • Roll one piece of dough into a rectangle approximately 12 x 15 inches. (The other piece of dough should be left in refrigerator until ready to be rolled.) Using pastry wheel, cut dough into strips 6 x 1 inch.
  • Make a vertical slit in top 1/3 of the strip and draw the bottom end of it through OR tie a knot in the center. Repeat with remaining dough and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 360 degrees F (185 degrees C). Deep fry strips until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, cool, and sprinkle heavily with confectioners' sugar.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I had a hard time finding the right oil to fry the cookies in. I ended up using vegetable oil, but I think a different oil might have been better.

These cookies were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I may have used too much oil.

I'm not a big fan of fried foods, but these cookies were an exception. They were light and airy, and the cinnamon sugar coating was the perfect touch.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to brown evenly. I think I may have needed to fry them for a little longer.

These fried cookies were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The cinnamon sugar coating was the perfect finishing touch.
