AMISH WEDDING NOTHINGS OR KNEE PATCHES



Amish Wedding Nothings or Knee Patches image

This are light, airy little pastries. This recipe came from "The Essential Amish Cookbook, Everyday Recipes From Farm and Pantry" by Lovina Eichler. I got this from Amazon. BTW, my husband said they're much better when freshly cooked. Fortunately the recipe doesn't make a lot so they're not around long enough to get cold...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 c heavy cream
1 egg, well beaten
1 pinch salt
2 c flour
oil for frying
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Stir together cream, egg, salt and just enough flour to make an elastic dough. The first time I only needed 1-1/2 cups.
  • 2. Divide dough into 8 balls for bigger pieces or more balls if you want smaller pieces. Roll out into very thin, flat circles. Cut slits across so it doesn't puff too much when fried.
  • 3. After heating oil to 365 drop pieces 1 at a time and fry until golden then put out on paper towels to drain slightly.
  • 4. While still very warm dust each side with powdered sugar. If not sweet enough you could use granulated sugar instead. This way is good with cinnamon in the sugar.
