It's amazing that these ingredients can make such a yummy treat! We call them "dogs" but thanks to Rebecca they are suppose to be "anis leipas". I believe translated to be anise dogs. The original recipe calls for anise flavoring but I prefer to use cardamon.
I've had this Bosch mixer for a few years. I absolutely love it for yeast breads but wish I had room to keep my Kitchen Aid on my counters also. I prefer the Kitchen Aid for cake batters and thinner type of batters. The great thing about this mixer is that it will hold 5 pounds of flour and will mash 10 pounds of potatoes.
These are suppose to look like "dogs". When you fry them the front is "suppose" to curl up and the back are the legs (kind of like a scotty dog). Mine never look like "dogs". In fact, today, the second batch of dough I just cut them in little squares.
"Dogs" are raising.
Molly, the happy fryer! Notice my "antique" deep fryer. A wedding gift 31 years ago but still works great!
They may look a little dark but I prefer over done than doughy.
Yum!!!! The finished product. After I took my third? fourth? fifth? sixth? one I asked Molly, "How many of these have I eaten?" She answered, "I don't know, but probably not as many as me". Who needs supper?!

Yum! They look delish! And if you are keeping up with Molly, I am impressed!
yum! that one looks like an elephant!
Yum. And like Riss called it - I always thought they should be called 'elephants' instead. ;) Eat some for me!
I sure am going to miss those this year!
I really should get a deep fryer just so I can make them.
Mark had forgotten about these yummy treats until he saw your blog. I need to get a deep fryer too - so we can make them over here!
I'm the maker of "dogs" for our family...not with this arm this year though. My kids think they are "E's". I sometimes cut them in triangles, slit sides and voila...trees!
They translate to Anise Bread. We always have those for Christmas too, that was our breakfast on Christmas morning when we were little, all you could eat! You can use a skillet with the higher sides to make these too, you don't actually need a deep fryer.
