- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and work into a smooth dough.
- Put the dough on a floured surface and roll out to a square approximately 35 x 20 cm big.
- Cut the square lengthwise in half, then cut into 17 strips of 2 cm wide and 10 cm high.
- Make a knot with each dough strip and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or deep fat fryer to 180°C.
- Fry the knots in batches in the hot oil for about 4 minutes, until browned on all sides.
- Remove the knots with a slotted spoon and put on a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain.
- Mix a bit of icing sugar with a good pinch of cinnamon.
- After draining, put the Verwuerelter in a large bowl and dust with the cinnamon icing sugar while still hot.
- These are best eaten on the day they are made.
