3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon whipping cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Oil for deep-fat frying
Confectioners’ sugar
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks, cream and vanilla
extract.
Beat in sugar.
Combine flour and salt; stir into the egg mixture just until
smooth (dough will be soft).
Divided into four portions.
On a well-floured surface, roll out one portion to 1/8-inch
thickness.
Cut into 1 1/2-inch strips; cut strips diagonally into
three pieces.
Cut a 1 1/2-inch slit lengthwise into the center of
each piece; pull one end of strip through slit to make a loop.
Cover shaped pieces while rolling out and cutting the remaining
dough.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 2-3 inches of oil
to 375 degrees F.
Fry pastries, a few at a time, until golden
brown, turning once.
Drain on paper towels.
Dust with
confectioners’ sugar while warm.
Yield: 1 1/2 dozen pastries
