INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Oil for deep frying Confectioners sugar mixed with ground cinnamon
Pour the flour and salt into a bowl and make a crater. Into the  crater
put the eggs, sugar, butter and beer. Mix well with a wooden  spoon,
then turn out of bowl onto a heavily floured surface. Knead  until
mixture is a firm dough.  Let stand, covered, for 1 hour.  Roll out the
dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4  inch (1/2 cm).
Use a cutter or knife to cut the dough into any  shapes you wish:
squares, rectangles, crescents, hearts etc.  Heat the oil to 375 F.
(190 C).  Fry the fritters in hot oil for about 3 to 4 minutes turning
to brown  on both sides.  Remove when they are the proper shade of
golden brown.  Drain on absorbent paper and sprinkle with a mixture of
confectioner's  sugar and cinnamon.  These may be served as dessert;
but they are also delicious at  breakfast or for between-meals snacks.
