  Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder together in a
  bowl.  Make a well in the middle and add the eggs,
  milk, salt and vanilla.  Beat these together and
  gradually work on the flour.  Roll out on a floured
  board to about 1/4 inch or a little thinner if
  preferred.
  
  Cut the dough into 2 x 4-inch strips and simply make 3
  or 4 slits in the center of each.  Fry in deep oil
  until golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  
  HINT:  These will be firmer than doughnuts.
  
  Yield: approximately 18 to 20.
