GREAT-GRANDMA TELL'S ANGEL WINGS

Ingredients for Dough
3 cups All Purpose Flour
2 T. sugar
1/2 t. Salt
3 T Mazola Oil
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup milk
1 T flavoring (rum)

Ingredients for Topping
1 pint Honey
1 cup ground Walnuts

Instructions for Making Dough
Sift flour, salt and sugar in large mixing bowl.
Beat eggs lightly until thoroughly mixed.
Mix milk, eggs and almond or rum flavoring together and beat slightly.
Then add wet ingredients to the dry and mix until stiff. 

Remove from bowl and knead on a floured board until smooth, adding one (1) tablespoon of oil at two intervals and working in thoroughly.  Use flour on board sparingly, just enough to keep dough from sticking.

Form dough in a long roll about 2" in diameter.  Cut in 2" slices.  Roll out slices into thickness of a heavy pie crust (about 1/16").  Cut in strips (2" wide and 6" long) with deckled edge cutter.  Pinch center together making a Rosette or Bow.  This is an Angel Wing.

Cooking Instructions
In a deep frying pan, heat about 1" Frying Oil to 400 degrees. 
Drop in Angel Wings to fry until golden brown.
Remove from grease and place on paper towels to drain and cool. 

Topping instructions
Place honey in the top of a double boiler and heat until thin.  Spoon honey over Angel Wings and sprinkle with finely chopped walnuts.  This recipe makes about 50 cookies.
