5 egg yolks
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 c. flour
5 tbsp. cream (sweet or sour)
oil (for frying)
powdered sugar

Beat egg yolks. Add in salt, sugar and vanilla. Beat well and add in alternately the flour and cream. Turn dough onto floured board and cover. Allow to rise 10 minutes. Knead until dough begins to blister. Roll thin. Cut into strips about 1 x 4-inches. Cut slit in center of each strip and twist one end through slit. Fry in deep fat at 375°F until lightly browned. Drain on paper towel. Dust with powdered sugar when cool.

Can make flavored powdered sugar by storing powdered sugar in a jar with a whole vanilla bean.
