directions

  • Melt butter in saucepan over low heat; let cool.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl until light and frothy.
  • Continue beating and gradually add melted butter.
  • Stir in flour mixture, mixing well, to form a dough.
  • Divide dough into 16 equal portions, rolling each portion into a ball.
  • Roll each ball out into a 8-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet.
  • Drop a pastry circle into hot oil using a long-handled fork; immediately stick the fork tines in the center of the pastry, and twist quickly.
  • Hold with fork until set (pastry will fold over on itself, forming an "ear"); cook until golden brown on both sides.
  • Drain on paper towels. Repeat.
  • Pour syrup into a saucepan; bring to a boil.
  • Cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Dip each pastry in hot syrup, coating well on both sides.
  • Sprinkle with pecans; let dry on buttered wax paper.

<p>I'm a stay at home mom with a 3 year old son, and a student studying for my bachelors in environmental science.</p> <p>I learned how to cook from watching my Grandmother Dee growing up, as well as watching culinary shows after school. My first 'real' culinary try, was creme brulee at age 14, which tasted good but alot like flan.</p> <p>I have alot of my Grandmothers old cookbooks, including a Betty Crocker Recipe Box filled with recipe cards from the 1960's. I LOVE LOVE LOVE vintage cookbooks!</p> <p>Food is definitely a pleasure for me, and I love to change others opinions on eating.&nbsp;I also encourage others to try new things!&nbsp; My passions are science, music, and art--as well as any DIY project!</p>
