Fried Ribbon Cookies

4 eggs
1/4 cup of sugar
3/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of butter, melted
2 3/4 cups of sifted flour
2 teaspoons of anise extract
2 teaspoons of water
Oil for frying
Confectioners' sugar, to sprinkle

Beat eggs in bowl until thick and lemon colored. Gradually add sugar and salt; beat until sugar is dissolved. Stir in butter.
Add half the flour to egg mixture; blend well. Stir in anise extract and water. Add remaining flour to make stiff dough; refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Divide dough into 5 or 6 parts. Roll out one part at a time on lightly floured board until dough is nearly transparent. With pastry wheel, cut dough into strips 1 inch wide and 6 inches long. Roll strips very loosely over first two fingers. Slip rolled strip onto tines of large meat fork.
Heat oil to 365ºF. in deep skillet. Place dough ribbon in hot oil. As soon as dough rises to the surface, it will begin to unroll. As soon as it unrolls, twist it back into a roll again with a meat fork. Hold dough loosely against side of pan for a minute or two until dough sets. Brown lightly on both sides. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Makes 10 dozen
