How to Make Roll Kuchen From The Mennonite Treasury Of Recipes

In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
Add 1 cup of milk to the beaten eggs.
Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
Cut the dough into strips approximately 1 inch wide by 3 inches long.
Cut a slit in the middle of each strip and pull one end through to create a knot.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry 4-6 Roll Kuchen at a time until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with slices of refreshing watermelon – a surprisingly delicious combination!
Enjoy this cherished Mennonite summer tradition!
