Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add everything except oil & powdered sugar/icing.
  2. Mix with dough hooks until blended smoothly.
  3. Tightly cover (suggest plastic wrap) and refrigerate overnight (minimum 4 hours).
  4. Roll into 1/2 thickness and cut into desired shapes. Try to stay about 2-3 per side.
  5. Deep fry at 360 Fahrenheit (use a candy or infrared thermometer, or a little below medium for most dials). Test by dropping a tiny ball of dough in, it should rise to the top within 10 seconds.
  6. Add about 3 at a time, for about 60-90 seconds each side. Color should be golden-brown.
  7. Drain on paper towel and dust with powdered sugar or ice, serve hot.
  8. Keep excess dough refrigerated, good for about a week (remember the raw egg).
