Traditional Polish crispy pastry twists made for Carnival time. They are deep-fried and sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. Light and delicious!

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 eggs yolks
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter , softened
  • 1 tablespoon rum
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 0.5 cups confectioners' sugar , or as needed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine flour, egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, butter, rum, and salt in a large bowl; mix to form a dough.

    Knead dough lightly and roll out on a floured surface. Cut into strips 4 inches long and 3/4 inches wide. Cut a slit in the middle of each strip. Twist and pull one end through the slit.
