CHRUSCHICI (POLISH COOKIES) 
3 eggs
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
2 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
Oil for frying
Confectioners' sugar

In medium bowl with wooden spoon, mix eggs, sugar, milk, salt and 1 cup of flour until well blended. Stir in remaining flour. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 hours or until easy to handle.

On floured surface with floured rolling pin, roll dough, one half at a time, until paper thin. With knife, cut dough into 4 x 1 1/2 inch rectangles. Twist each rectangle strip twice to form a bow-tie shape, pinching center to flatten and seal.

In large skillet over medium heat, heat about 3/4 inch of oil to about 350 degrees. Gently drop several bow ties at a time into hot oil and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Store in tightly covered container.

I am still looking for a similar fried cookie recipe a neighbor made long ago. Probably flour, baking soda or powder, eggs, a little sugar; stirred then kneaded and rolled into a long thick tube, she sliced thin rounds and dropped them into deep hot oil in a pot; flipped them once when they tanned and took them out to drain; sprinkled with sugar. I don't have the proportions. She spoke Yiddish, called them something like "ayerkuckel".
