How to Make Krostule
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar together until light and lemon-colored (about 5-7 minutes using an electric mixer).
- Add vanilla extract, lemon extract, whiskey (if using), and baking powder to the egg mixture; mix well.
- Beat in the softened butter until fully incorporated.
- Gradually sift in the flour, mixing until a dough forms that resembles pie crust dough. Add more flour if needed to prevent stickiness.
- Lightly knead the dough for a minute or two until smooth.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into thin strips (approximately 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide).
- In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully fry the Krostule strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy (about 1-2 minutes per batch).
- Remove the fried Krostule with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Immediately sprinkle the warm Krostule generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious homemade Krostule!
