4 cups sifted flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 egg yolks
1 cup commercial sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Confectioners sugar

Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Beat egg yolks until pale yellow. Add with remaining ingredients to flour mixture. Stir until well blended, then knead until mixture forms one large ball. Roll out on well-floured board to 1/8-inch thickness.

Cut with a pastry wheel into strips 1 x 3 inches. Make a slit down center of each strip and pull one end through. Fry in deep, hot fat (375°F.) until lightly brown on both sides (about 3 minutes). Drain on heavy paper. When cool, sprinkle with confectioners sugar.

Makes about 9 dozen pastry twists.
