ROLL KUCHEN (FROM THE MENNONITE TREASURY OF RECIPES)



Roll Kuchen (From the Mennonite Treasury of Recipes) image

Oh, the memories of this recipe! This is a favourite Mennonite Tradition for a summer meal. This is my mom's favourite recipe for Roll Kuchen. I remember fondly the time my parent's spent making this and how they doubled and tripled the recipe for family gatherings. To non-Mennonites the idea of having these with watermelon strikes them as very strange--Watermelon and doughnuts??!!?? But for me and my family it is a food that we enjoy and look forward to having! Cook time is per batch of 4-6 roll kuchen.

Time 35m

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.
