1 batch



Ingredients

 * 6   Eggs
 * 1/4 c Sugar
 * 2 ts butter
 * 1 1/2 l Cooking oil
 * 1 ts lemon peel bits
 * 1 tb Rum
 * 1 ts vanilla
 * 2 lb flour; blended with...
 * 3 ts baking powder

Directions
Separate eggs; beat whites until they "peak". To slightly beaten eggs, add Sugar and cooled, melted butter; blend until smooth. Add the egg whites, lemon peel, rum and vanilla and blend. Add enough flour (about 2 pounds) to make a dough that will roll nicely. Roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 5/8 x 6 inch strips.

Over quite hot fire, heat the oil until it stops hissing or "speaking". Use a pan to give you an oil depth of about 2 to 2-1/2 inches. This will allow your hrstule to submerge when you drop it in, and whenit rises to the surface, it pretty well indicates readiness to turn. Turn and cook both sides a golden brown color. Coat with powdered sugar while hot. Twist in various shapes or knot your hrstule before droppoing into oil.
