One of the more popular classic Cajun sweet pastries. I can still smell the aroma wafting out the kitchen when these were cooking.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Oil for deep frying
- Powdered sugar for coating
Directions
Step 1
Beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Add one egg at a time, beating well after each. Add milk and mix well.
Step 2
Separately mix all dry ingredients and add to the egg mixture slowly, beating well.
Step 3
Place dough on a well-floured board. Roll dough very thin and cut by strips with a slit in each strip.
Step 4
Fry in hot oil until lightly brown on both sides. Drop fried croquinoles into a bag with powdered sugar and shake to coat.
