ROLL KUCHEN (NOT CRISPY VERSION)



Roll Kuchen (not crispy version) image

Although I grew up eating crispy Roll Kuchen, I have been making this version and it has become my new favourite. The finished product is very soft and tastes delicious dipped in corn syrup. (Something my mom never let us do while growing up!!) If you prefer a crispy Roll Kuchen check out my other recipe which I have also posted. This recipe will feed my family twice. I will always freeze half and then I am ready for a quick meal or snack.

A variation of a traditional Mennonite recipe, these deep-fried pastries typically are served with slices of cold watermelon. It's a wonderful combination on hot summer days or at picnics.

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 eggs
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups canola oil for frying

Steps:

  • Place eggs in a large mixing bowl, and beat until frothy. Gradually beat in the flour and salt to make a soft dough. Roll out the dough to be fairly thin, about 1/8 inch, and cut into 2 inch by 5 inch strips. Cut a slit down the center of each strip, and twist so one end slides through the slit and makes a loop.
  • Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a deep skillet (or use a deep-fat fryer) over medium-high heat, 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Cook dough in small batches in preheated oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm or at room temperature.
