Description

 * Makes 1 batch

Ingredients

 * 6 eggs
 * ¼ cup sugar
 * 2 tsp butter
 * 1½ l cooking oil
 * 1 tsp lemon peel bits
 * 1 tbsp rum
 * 1 tsp vanilla
 * 2 lbs flour; blended with...
 * 3 tsp baking powder

Directions

 * 1) Separate eggs; beat whites until they "peak".
 * 2) To slightly beaten eggs, add sugar and cooled, melted butter; blend until smooth.
 * 3) Add the egg whites, lemon peel, rum and vanilla and blend.
 * 4) Add enough flour (about 2 pounds) to make a dough that will roll nicely.
 * 5) Roll out the dough to ⅛ inch thickness.
 * 6) Cut into ⅝ x 6 inch strips.
 * 7) Over quite hot fire, heat the oil until it stops hissing or "speaking".
 * 8) Use a pan to give you an oil depth of about 2 to 2½ inches.
 * 9) This will allow your hrstule to submerge when you drop it in, and when it rises to the surface, it pretty well indicates readiness to turn.
 * 10) Turn and cook both sides a golden brown color.
 * 11) Coat with powdered sugar while hot.
 * 12) Twist in various shapes or knot your hrstule before dropping into oil.
