Ingredients

Salted butter (softened and cut into small cubes) 100 g

Flour 500 g

Eggs 4

Powdered sugar 100 g

Rum 2 tbsp

Yeast 1 packet

Powdered sugar (for dusting) to taste

Vegetable oil (for frying) to taste

Instructions

Make the dough

Mix the flour and yeast, making a well in the center. Add the sugar, butter cubes, eggs, and rum. Knead with your fingertips to combine, form into a ball, wrap in plastic film, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Shape the cookies

Divide the dough into 3 or 4 portions and roll out on a lightly floured surface. Cut into small rectangles about 4 cm long. Make a slit in the middle and pull one end of the dough through the slit to form a knot.

Fry

Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot. Test the temperature by dropping in a small piece of dough: if it floats, the oil is ready. Fry the dough until golden, being careful not to let it darken too much.
