Fried crullers, or kleinur are traditionally enjoyed in Iceland.

Ingredients

    * 4 cups flour
    * 3 tsp. baking powder
    * 1 tsp. hartshorn (ammonium carbonate)
    * 2 tsp. cardamom
    * ½ cup margarine
    * 4½ tbs. sugar
    * 7 tbs. milk
    * 1 egg

Procedure

   1. Mix together the flour, baking powder, hartshorn and cardamom.
   2. Add the margarine, sugar, egg and the milk. Work into a dough.
   3. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
   4. Cut into strips about ¾ inch wide and about 3 inches long in a slantwise direction, using a 
pastry wheel and ruler.
   5. Make a slit in the center of each cruller and pull one pointed end through. Lower the 
crullers, one at a time, into hot fat and fry them until golden brown (deep fat frying).
   6. Lift them out and let them drain on a paper towel. Serve hot or cold.
