1. 1

   Cut or rub the butter into the flour and salt until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs.

2. 2

   Add the sugar, seeds and zest.

   Stir in the egg to make a stiff pastry.

4. 4

   Using your hands, gather the dough into a ball and knead for about 2 minutes.

   Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thick; cut into 1-inch-wide strips then 6-inch-long strips with angle-cut ends.

6. 6

   Cut a slit at one end (like a big buttonhole); pull the other end through and tie it in a loose half-bow.

   Fill a saucepan one-third full of peanut oil.

8. 8

   Heat to 350F-375F or until a piece of the rolled dough turns golden in 1 minute.

   Fry until crisp and golden, turning them once with a slotted spoon or tongs; about 1 to 2 minutes.
