Klejner (norwegian Fried Twists)
Ingredients
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 cup flour
- 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup light cream
- 1 t. baking powder
- oil for deep frying
- confectioner's sugar
Instructions
4 dozen. Beat whole eggs with egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually beat in sugar. Stir in melted butter and cream. Sift 2 cup flour with baking powder and stir into egg mixture. Then stir in enough additional flour so that dough cleans the bowl. Roll onto lightly floured surface until 1/8" thick. Cut into strips or diamonds 3-4 inches long and 1-1/2 inches wide. Cut a slit in center of each strip and pull one end completely through slit. Drop into deep fat (375 on frying thermometer) and fry 2-3 minutes, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with sifted confectioner's sugar.
