Ingredients
Units
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- ¼ tsp white vinegar
- vegetable oil, for deep frying
- confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Place the flour and salt in a bowl.
- Add the beaten eggs and vinegar and mix thoroughly until a smooth dough has formed (you can use an electric mixer or food processor).
- Let the dough rest, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out portions of the dough on a lightly floured surface until the dough is very thin, almost like paper.
- Cut the dough into squares or rectangles or odd shapes.
- Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in a deep sauté pan (or use a deep fryer) over medium-high heat until the oil reaches about 375°F (a bread crumb or tiny piece of dough will sizzle quickly when you drop it into the oil).
- Drop the cutouts, a few at a time into the oil (they will puff up) and cook briefly on both sides until they are crispy and faintly browned.
- Drain on paper towels. Sift confectioners’ sugar on top.
