8 egg yolks, beaten
3-6 tbsp. light cream
Ground cardamom, enough to taste (about 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp.)
4 tbsp. sugar
3 c. all-purpose flour
Powdered sugar for dusting
Oil for deep frying

Mix together first 5 ingredients in order given, to form a dough. Roll out small amount of dough on lightly floured surface until it's about 1/8th of an inch thick. Cut into long diamonds (about 3 inches) and twist each into a diamond shape. Fry in deep fat (375 degrees F.) until just golden (not crisp). Drain on paper towels. Repeat until dough is used up. Dust with powdered sugar when cool. Makes about two dozen cookies, depending on how big you make the diamonds.
