Lovers' Knots

List of Ingredients




Makes About 2 Dozen Fried Pastries
1 1/2 cups Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
2 Tablespoons Confectioner's Sugar
1 large Egg, beaten
2 Tablespoons Rum
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Confectioner's Sugar for dusting

Recipe



Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the confectioner's sugar and add the egg. Blend the dough with a fork until a consistent mixture is formed. Add the rum gradually while continuing to blend the dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Divide the dough into four equal portions.

Roll each portion of dough out to form a 6-inch by 3-inch rectangle. Cut each dough rectangle into six strips, each about 1/2-inch wide. Tie the strips into a single knot.

In a deep-fat fryer or heavy skillet, warm the oil to 375 degrees. Deep fry the dough knots in small batches for about one or two minutes each, until crisp and golden.

Transfer the fried dough to paper towels to drain. Serve the Lovers' Knots warm, freshly dusted with confectioner's sugar.
