Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl or bowl of the food processor* whisk together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder, add the egg, egg yolk and butter, combine until the dough is almost combined. If making by hand then use a fork to combine.
Remove from the bowl/food processor place on lightly floured flat surface and knead to form a smooth compact dough (it should not be sticky). Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge.
Remove from fridge and taking 1/4 of the dough at a time roll into a very thin rectangle or square, cut into approximately 2-3 inch sizes and fry in a pot of hot vegetable oil (approximately 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) of oil, temperature must reach 340-350F (170-175C) and try to stay at this temperature or they could burn). Fry until golden turning the frappe over while frying. Remove to drain and cool on a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate. Enjoy!

*You could probably use a standing mixer with the flat beater attached.

Notes

If you prefer yours baked then place the strips on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and bake in a 350F (180C) pre-heated oven for about 8-10 minutes. Let cool then dust with powdered sugar.
