1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup vermouth

Directions

In a large mixing bowl –  Mix all dry ingredients, starting with just 4 cups (of the 4 1/2 or 5 cups) flour, sugar, baking powder, salt. Save about 1 cup flour to add after all wet ingredients have been included. You will add extra flour only if needed.

Add your eggs, oil, vanilla and mix. Now add your vermouth and mix well. If required, add little bit of flour at a time from the 1 cup of flour you set aside and do this until you reach the desired consistency.

Roll your dough into long, narrow, round strips until they are about 1 inch in diameter.  Cut the dough in pieces.

In a deep frying pan add enough oil to cover at least 1/2 of the pastry ball. On medium heat allow oil to get hot and then carefully place the pastry balls into the oil and deep fry.

Do not leave unattended as they will cook quickly. Let cool and finish with a sprinkle of icing sugar.
