Serving Size: 48

Cooking Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 Large eggs
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) white sugar
• 0.5 Cups sour cream
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) rum
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 3.33 Cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 4 Cups vegetable oil
• 0.5 Cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until light and frothy.
2. Blend in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and rum until well combined.
3. Gradually fold in the sifted flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into manageable portions. Roll out each portion as thin as possible, aiming for a paper-thin consistency.
6. Cut the rolled dough into 2-inch wide strips, then cut diagonally every 4 inches. Make a 1-inch slit in the center of each strip. Pull one of the pointy corners through the slit to form a bowtie shape.
7. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
8. Carefully slide about seven or eight pastries into the hot oil. Fry until they rise to the surface and turn a light golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
9. Use a slotted spoon to remove the pastries from the oil and drain on paper towels.
10. While still warm, dust the pastries generously with sifted confectioners' sugar.
11. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once cooled. Enjoy your crispy, rum-infused bowtie pastries!
