Roll Kuchen is a popular Mennonite dish that has been passed down for generations. It is a simple and easy recipe that can be served either sweet or savory, making it perfect for breakfast, brunch, or snack time. It's often paired with honey or jam for sweetness, or served with gravy for a savory option. Traditionally, Roll Kuchen is fried in hot oil until golden brown, which creates a crispy exterior and a soft, doughy center. It's a comforting and satisfying food that is perfect for sharing with family and friends.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and melted butter.
2.	In another bowl, sift flour, salt, and baking powder.
3.	Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing until a dough forms.
4.	Knead the dough for a minute then set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
5.	On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
6.	Cut into strips about 2 inches wide and 5 inches long.
7.	Cut a small slit in the middle of each strip then fry in hot oil (360°F) for about 1 minute on each side or until golden brown.
8.	Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
9.	Serve with honey or jam on top.
