These cookies remind me so much of Christmas,

I had to call mom to find out what they were called, as it has been quite a while since I’ve had (or seen) them. Thank goodness for YouTube, as I used it to find the recipe and found 2 different methods. I think I will amalgamate versions 1 and 2 from YouTube, then learn how to make them myself…

Preheat the oil to 350°F|176°C – 365°F|185°C – be sure to manage the oil throughout the cooking as the temperature may change.

Ingredients:
Recipe options

1. 1. This is the first video I watched on YouTube for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNM0hm59CYA
      • 1c Whole Milk
      • 2 tsp vanilla
      • 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
      • 2 eggs
      • 1 c whole wheat flour

1. 2nd Option, just thrown together…

• 2 Eggs
• 1c Milk
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1c sifted all purpose flour
• 1 tbsp white sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt

Method:

• Mix together ingredients
• Mix wet ingredients first (beat well), mix dry ingredients separately (Option 1)
• Whisk or blend wet ingredients then add to dry mix (whisk, fairly liquidy until smooth)(Again Option 1)
• Pre heat iron in oil (it has to be really hot else the batter sticks) – min 2 minutes
• Shake off excess oil
• Dip into batter but not submerged (just into the batter but not under the batter – don’t cover it, just before it goes over the top – 1 post says 1/4″ from the top)
• Then set iron back into the oil
• Sometimes they leave the iron and float, if that happens you can leave the resette in the oil and prepare the iron for another batch and redip it
• Having watched the video, I think that you should separate the batter from the iron and dip as many as will fit without overlapping
• Reheat iron 20 seconds to 1 minute before dipping the next one
• Each one should cook approx 30 seconds – once complete, remove them and set them on paper towels then a cooling tray (someone used their broiler pan for this with the rack and it worked well)
• Don’t put the powdered sugar on too soon, they need to cool first else they will absorb the powdered sugar
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar
