Tangle Britches
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound butter
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 5 cup flour
Directions
- Cream together the butter and sugar.
- Add the eggs beating well.
- Sift in the cinnamon and enough flour to make a stiff dough.
- Roll out the dough very thin on a floured board to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut into rectangular pieces 3 inches by 5 inches.
- Make 5 cuts lengthwise in the dough 1/2 inch apart and 4 1/2 inches long, so that the rectangle remains in one piece.
- Fry in hot deep fat (360f) for 2 minutes or until they bob up to the top of the hot grease.
- When dropping them into the fryer, pick up the 1st, 3rd and 5th strips and pull them upward.
- Let the 2nd, 4th and 6th sag downward so that in frying they get all fahuudelt (tangled) or as the dutch say, all through each other.
- Dust with powdered sugar or dribble molasses over them and eat hot.
