Lovers' Knots

List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
2 Tbs. Confectioner's Sugar
1 large Egg, beaten
2 Tbs. 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-F
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.
