To make them in the traditional manner: Working with 1/3 of dough at time (keep the rest of the dough chilled), separate dough into 1-inch balls and roll between floured hands into a pencil-like shape, about as long as your hand. On a baking sheet loop one end over the other to form an oval with two ends overlapping (to look like the Christian fish). 6. Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes before edges brown. They won't look done, but they are. 7. Sprinkle with nutmeg and powdered sugar. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
