Ingredients

• 6 Egg yolks
• 0.5 Pints sour cream
• 3 Tablespoons white sugar
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 Tablespoon whiskey
• 3 Cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 Cup vegetable oil
• 0.33 Cups confectioners' sugar

Steps

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, beat together the egg yolks, sour cream, white sugar, vanilla extract, and whiskey until smooth.
3. Stir in the all-purpose flour until the dough is stiff enough to knead.

5. Divide the dough into 3 or 4 pieces. Roll each piece on a floured surface.
6. Cut the rolled dough into strips about 3 inches long. Make a slit lengthwise down the middle of each strip and pull one end through the slit to form a bow shape.
