Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/4 tsp. white vinegar
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying
  • confectioner’s 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 saute 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. Makes 30.
