Mom and Granny would spend a day making these delicious deep fried pastries. We couldn't wait till they cooled and the powder sugar was sprinkled on. This is an old recipe before paper towels were around so they used brown paper grocery bags to let the grease drip off and dry. These are so worth the time they take to make and Oh So Good!
