Put up a medium-size pot of water to boil.

Using a mixer, mix first four ingredients. When the mixture turns dough-like, remove from mixer bowl, and roll into long ropes. Cut ropes into quarter-inch pieces and drop the pieces, one-by-one, into the pot of boiling water until they rise to the top.

In the meantime, heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan. Sprinkle flavored bread crumbs into the bottom of the pan and brown a bit. Add the boiled shlishkes and fry until coated with crumbs
