• separate dough into 4 or 5 portions and roll out very thin. the dough should be almost as thin as paper, and slightly see-through. cut dough into strips about 1 1/2 inches wide and 4 inches long. make a 1 1/2 inch slit in the strip closer to one end. pull the long end of the strip through the slit.
• heat the oil to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c). fry the cookies quickly, turning once. they should be golden but not brown. drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar when cool.
