Swedish Love Knots - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 c. flour

Preparation

Sift flour, sugar and salt together; cut in butter.
Add vanilla to the eggs and beat until light and frothy.
Mix thoroughly into flour mixture (if eggs are large, add just enough flour so dough can be handled).
Knead on lightly floured board for 3 minutes.
Roll dough about 1/8-inch thick and cut with floured knife into strips 1 1/2-inches wide and 4-inches long. Make a slash 1-inch long in center of each piece.
Lift and carefully slip one end through the slit.
