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.
