German Rabbit Ears

In a bowl, whisk the flour with the salt and baking powder. Melt the butter in the milk. Beat it into the flour mixture along with the egg to form a firm dough, adding more milk if needed. Knead on a floured surface for a few minutes. Form into a ball, cover with a towel and set aside 1 hour.

On a floured surface, roll out dough about 1/3-inch thick. With a knife, pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut into 1-by-3­ inch rectangles.

In a heavy pot, heat about 4 inches of oil to 375 degrees F. Fry dough pieces, being careful not to crowd, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Stir cinnamon into sugar sprinkle over the still-hot rabbit ears.
