1 pinch salt
1 lemon peel
7 1/8 tablespoons margarine
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 eggs
sugar for sprinkling
cinnamon for sprinkling
oil for frying

Directions

1

Bring the water, a dash of lemon, lemon peel, and margarine to a boil. Let boil for a few minutes, and then remove the lemon peel.
2

Add the flour and baking powder all at once, and stir well until it forms a ball that separates itself from the pan. Let cook, stirring for 2 or 3 minutes.
3

Remove from heat, and move to a bowl to cool down.
4

When it is almost cold, mix in the eggs, one at a time, whisking very well between each addition. If necessary use an electric mixer.
5

Heat the oil in a pan, or deep fryer. Place the dough in a pastry bag, and pipe strips of dough into the hot oil. When golden, remove from the pan, and coat in sugar and cinnamon.
