Ingredients

• 6 Whole egg yolks, whisked
• 0.5 Pints (pt) sour cream
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) white sugar
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) vanilla extract
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) whiskey
• 3 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Cup vegetable oil for frying

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.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Add additional flour if necessary.
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.
