"Our Ginette Recipe is: Beat 5 eggs with 4 heaping teaspoons of sugar, 5 teaspoons of oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla in a mixing bowl. In another large bowl, put 14 ounces of flour and one heaping teaspoon of baking powder. Mix. Add the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture. Mix well, pour out on lightly floured surface and knead unti the dough becomes blistered. (I use a kitchen aid with dough hook). It generally takes 15-20 minutes of kneading.
Let rest for at least an hour.
In the meantime, get a pot of water boiling and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. cut strips and roll little snakes (about the diameter and length of a finger.). Connect ends and form a ring. (no larger than 3 inches). Flatten. Throw in boiling water.
Cook like pasta, Al dente. (about a good minute or 2).
take out and place on dish towel and let cool. Take a bread knife and cut the edges of ring about 3/4 around.
place on baking sheet which has been in the preheated oven. Make sign of cross over them.. Let bake until the edges open up wide. It may take 15-30 minutes. Periodically check and turn as they open. They should be sufficiently brown.
let cool completely. Do not frost while warm. Do it the next day to be sure. Frost with sugar glaze and sprinkles."
