Honey Curls (Diples)

6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 cups vegetable oil (for deep-frying)

Beat eggs well with vanilla extract. Add flour slowly, kneading lightly. Add the 1/3 cup oil and mix well. Separate dough into five sections. Keep unused portion covered to keep from drying. Roll one part on floured board until paper thin. With pastry wheel, cut into strips 2 inches wide and the length of pastry. Roll on a fork to form circle. Drop into very hot oil in a deep fat fryer so that dough will rise properly. Drain on absorbent paper. Dip Diples in hot syrup; sprinkle with cinnamon and nuts.
