Ingredients:
240 g flour
55 g butter
120 g warm water
64 g sugar
salt
oil for frying

Solve the sugar and salt into the warm water. In a bowl, mix together the flour, water mixture, butter and knead extensively to a tough, dense dough, add flour or water as necessary. Let rest for about 30 minutes and knead again to remove any air bubbles.
Roll out the dough to about 1,5 cm thickness and cut into rectangles about 6*12 cm.
Cut a slit in the middle and pull one end through making sort of a knot shape.
Heat up you oil in a frying pan and deep fry until golden brown on each side.
Remove and serve warm with Mongolian tea.
