Hrstule

1 Batch

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 Eggs
¼ cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Butter
1½ litre Cooking oil
1 teaspoon Lemon peel bits
1 tablespoon Rum
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 pounds Flour; blended with...
3 teaspoons Baking powder

Directions

Separate eggs; beat whites until they "peak". To slightly beaten eggs, add sugar and cooled, melted butter; blend until smooth. Add the egg whites, lemon peel, rum and vanilla and blend. Add enough flour (about 2 pounds) to make a dough that will roll nicely. Roll out the dough to ⅛ inch thickness. Cut into ⅝ x 6 inch strips.

Over quite hot fire, heat the oil until it stops hissing or "speaking". Use a pan to give you an oil depth of about 2 to 2-½ inches. This will allow your hrstule to submerge when you drop it in, and whenit rises to the surface, it pretty well indicates readiness to turn. Turn and cook both sides a golden brown color. Coat with powdered sugar while hot. Twist in various shapes or knot your hrstule before droppoing into oil.
