Directions

  1. Beat eggs, water, and almond flavoring together in a large bowl. Add salt, gradually stir in flour to make a stiff dough.

  2. Knead the dough until it can be rolled out very thinly. Split dough into fist-sized balls, roll out into thin strips using a pasta machine. Cut dough strips into triangles.

  3. Divide sugar among 3 bowls. Add cinnamon to one bowl, green food coloring to the next, and red food coloring to the last. Stir to evenly distribute the additions.

  4. Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Place the dough triangles into the hot oil. Fry, turning until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle both sides with one of the sugar toppings.
