Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 40 mins


• cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. add eggs and egg yolks one by one while continuing to beat, then add salt, whiskey, and vanilla. stir in flour until a smooth dough is formed. cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• roll out dough on a well floured surface until very thin, about 1/8-inch thick. cut dough into rectangles measuring 1x4 inches. grasping each end of a dough strip, give it two twists to form a bowtie shape. repeat with remaining dough.
• heat oil in a deep-fat fryer to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
• fry the cookies in batches until golden brown on both sides, turn them over half way through so they cook evenly. drain cookies on a paper towel-lined plate, then dust with powdered sugar.
