This recipe is from my grandmother: the secret is to roll the dough thin for a light, crisp cookie. Polish bow tie cookies.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs yolks
- 0.5 pints sour cream
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon whiskey
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
- 0.33 cups confectioners' sugar for decoration
Instructions
-
1
Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
2
In a large bowl, beat together the egg yolks, sour cream, white sugar, vanilla and whiskey until smooth. Stir in flour until dough is stiff enough to knead. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Knead in additional flour if necessary. Divide dough into 3 or 4 pieces and roll each ball on floured surface. Cut into strips about 3 inches long then make a slit long ways down the middle. Pull one of the ends through like a bow.

Place into hot oil and deep fry until golden brown. Let drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
