This recipe, passed down from my grandmother, holds a simple secret: rolling the dough thin results in a light, crisp cookie. Presenting Polish bow tie cookies.
Ingredients
- 6 egg yolks
- ½ pint sour cream
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon whiskey
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Heat oil in deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 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.
Notes
