Recipe: Amish Wedding Nothings (fried dough cookies)

Desserts - Pastries
AMISH WEDDING NOTHINGS

1 egg
3/4 cup cream
Pinch of salt
2 to 3 cups all purpose flour
Vegetable shortening or lard (for deep frying)
Powdered sugar (for sprinkling)

Beat the egg and stir in the cream, salt and enough flour to make a stiff, elastic dough. Divide the dough into 6 or 7 balls. Roll each ball flat and very thin (1/16-inch).Cut three 2-inch slits, one above the other, through the middle of each piece.

Heat shortening in a large kettle over high heat. When the shortening reaches 365 degrees F or a piece of dough tossed in sizzles, put one piece of dough at a time into the kettle. Turn each piece over with two forks when you see a slight golden color. Take out and put on a plate covered with paper towels to drain.

Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. Stack all of the Nothings on one plate and serve.
