amish wedding nothings or knee patches
This are light, airy little pastries. This recipe came from "The Essential Amish Cookbook, Everyday Recipes From Farm and Pantry" by Lovina Eichler. I got this from Amazon. BTW, my husband said they're much better when freshly cooked. Fortunately the recipe doesn't make a lot so they're not around long enough to get cold LOL.

How To Make amish wedding nothings or knee patches
-
Step 1Stir together cream, egg, salt and just enough flour to make an elastic dough. The first time I only needed 1-1/2 cups.
-
Step 2Divide dough into 8 balls for bigger pieces or more balls if you want smaller pieces. Roll out into very thin, flat circles. Cut slits across so it doesn't puff too much when fried.
-
Step 3After heating oil to 365 drop pieces 1 at a time and fry until golden then put out on paper towels to drain slightly.
-
Step 4While still very warm dust each side with powdered sugar. If not sweet enough you could use granulated sugar instead. This way is good with cinnamon in the sugar.
