Using fritter form (patty form shell), dip form into oil until very hot.

Shake off excess oil.

Place batter-filled form into oil, fry until golden brown.

Remove fritter from form.

Repeat until all batter is used.

Sprinkle liberally with confectioners sugar.

Combine all ingredients to form smooth dough.

Cut circles, 12 each of one inch, one and half inch, and two inch in diameter.

Stack each size, smallest on the top, pinch in center to attach.

Cut five small slits, round and round through outer two circles.

Deep fry, face down, for 30 seconds. Do not turn.
