This traditional Polish cookie can be made by different methods according to the different family recipes.  I have had some that are crispy in texture and very light.  I have also had these made like cake doughnuts sprinkled with powdered sugar.  This recipe is the made in the second way and by no means makes it better than the first.  Both are delicious and both are traditional cookies.

Ingredients

3 cups flour
2 sticks margarine, soften to room temp.
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1 small (6 oz) bottle beer (room temp.)

How To Mix and Fry

Mix margarine, sugar and egg.
Add flour alterntely with beer until dough forms.
Refrigerate for 1 hour.
On a cutting board, roll dough into 1/8" thickness.
Cut into 1" x 3" strips with pastry wheel.
Make slit in dough and pull one end through.
Fry in hot deep fat at 350° for 2 minutes or until light brown.

Remove from cooking oil with a slotted spoon so that you don't puncture the cookie.

Drain on heavy paper.
When cold sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Tips: I have found that brown paper is best for draining and can be purchased at any 5&10. OR you can cut up supermarket bags and use those for draining these cookies.
