Instructions

1. Put the butter and the sugar in a bowl and mix until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat between additions. Add the vanilla extract and cream and beat again.

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