Chiacchiere Della Nonna

2-1/4 C. flour
1/2 C. vegetable oil
2 TB. sugar
2 eggs
3 TB. dry white wine
1/2 tsp. salt
10X confectioner's sugar for dusting
Oil for frying

Combine flour, oil, sugar, eggs, wine, and salt in a large bowl.  Knead until it becomes a smooth and tender dough.  Cover dough and let rest for 20 minutes.  Knead dough for another 1-2 minutes, then roll it out to 1/8 inch thickness.  Cut dough into stripes 1/2 inch wide by 5 inches long.  Tie stripes into a bow shape.  Put a few bows at a time into about 1 inch of hot oil, fry 'til golden brown, then transfer to paper towels to drain.  Sprinkle them generously with the 10X sugar.
