Ingredients

 * 750 g flour
 * 2 eggs
 * 4 oz butter
 * ½ teaspoon bicarbonate
 * ½ teaspoon salt
 * ½ teaspoon sugar
 * ½ cup milk
 * 1 grated lemon rind
 * Icing sugar

Directions

 * 1) Prepare a dough (everything except the icing sugar) and put on a pastry board, leave for one hour.
 * 2) Then roll out and cut into thin strips, approx. 4 – 5 inches long, knot them and put on a slightly floured board, cover with a cloth for about 10 – 15 minutes to allow mixture to settle.
 * 3) Deep fry in hot fat until golden brown, drain and sprinkle with icing sugar.
 * 4) One could use yeast instead of bicarbonate in which case the pastry would not be as crisp.
