Kartaeuserkloesse (carthusian Dumplings)

The empire the devil exercised over man, did not arise from any dignity in his person, or any right he had to him in himself, but it was first founded on sin, and granted to him by the justice of God, and was not the power of a prince, but of an executioner. Had not sin first opened the door, his venom could not have infected us, nor his power have hurt us. He could never have been our accuser without some matter of charge from us: nor ever have been our executioner, had we not fallen under the hands of divine justice. His power is erected upon our crimes, whereby he becomes the minister of divine vengeance.

INSTRUCTIONS

Shape the rolls into dumplings by rubbing the crust of all sides. Put
these dumplings into a mixture of egg yolk, milk, lemon peel, and
sugar.  Once they have absorbed the liquid all the way through, gently
squeeze out excess liquid by hand. Whisk the egg white and water, and
dip the dumplings in this mixture, and then roll them in breadcrumbs.
Deep fry in fat until golden brown, then roll in a mixture of sugar
and cinnamon.  Serves 4.  [*Note:  I would probably use 2 tsp of
vanilla sugar. K.B.]  From:  D'SCHWAEBISCH' KUCHE' by Aegidius Kolb and
