List of Ingredients
Makes 8 dozen.
9 egg yolks
3 tb sugar
3 tb sour cream
1 tb rum
1 t vanilla
3 c flour (sifted)
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
oil for deep frying
confectioners sugar
Recipe
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until well combined. Add sour
cream, rum and vanilla and mix until smooth.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and add it to egg yolk
mixture, a little at a time.
On a heavily floured surface knead the dough vigorously, punching
and squeezing as much flour into it as it will take until the
dough is no longer sticky (1/2 hour).
Separate dough into several portions and roll very thin. Turn the
dough and loosen often when rolling. The dough should look like
parchment paper that you can see through.
Cut dough into strips approx. 1 1/2 inches wide, 4 inches long.
Make slit closer to one end and bring the longer end through the
slit.
Heat oil to 375 degrees and fry quickly (only a few seconds) until
golden not brown. Turn only once. Drain on paper towels.
Dust with confectioners sugar.
