Oreillettes

Put the flour in a mixing bowl.

Add the sugar, the salt and the softened butter and mix together.

Add the eggs one by one. Knead the dough well and let sit for 2 hours.

Roll out the dough to ½ centimetre thick. 

Cut the dough into 2x4-centimetre bands or use a cookie cutter.

Heat the oil for deep frying until very hot and fry the oreillettes for two minutes.

Remove from oil, place on absorbent paper and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
