Categories: Pastry, Snacks
     Yield: 48 servings

   3/4 c  Granulated sugar
   1/2 c  Water
   1/2 c  Butter
     1 ts Vanilla extract
     1 lg Egg; beaten
 3 3/4 c  A-P flour
          Oil for frying
   1/2 c  Confectioners' sugar

 In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and
 butter over high heat until the butter melts. Remove
 from heat and allow to cool until lukewarm.

 Add vanilla and egg; mix well.

 Place mixture in a large bowl and gradually mix in flour
 until well combined. Roll the dough onto a lightly
 floured surface until paper thin. Cut into 2-inch-square
 pieces.

 Place 2" of oil in a soup pot and heat over medium heat
 until hot but not smoking. Place 5 to 6 pieces of dough
 into the hot oil and cook 30 to 40 seconds, or until
 golden on both sides, turning halfway through the
 cooking. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining
 dough.

 Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve
 immediately.
