 { Submitted by Alcee-Hymet Family }

 Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder together in a
 bowl.  Make a well in the middle and add the eggs,
 milk, salt and vanilla.  Beat these together and
 gradually work on the flour.  Roll out on a floured
 board to about 1/4 inch or a little thinner if
 preferred.

 Cut the dough into 2 x 4-inch strips and simply make 3
 or 4 slits in the center of each.  Fry in deep oil
 until golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

 HINT:  These will be firmer than doughnuts.

 Yield: approximately 18 to 20.
