Bow Tie Cookies

• 12 large egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 4-5 cups flour
• 1 shot of real whiskey or rum

Instructions:
Preheated Deep fryer or skillet with a good quality oil to hot but not smoking (about 400F degrees)
Beat eggs with all ingredients except flour. Add flour slowly to make a sticky dough. Turn dough out onto a pastry board and knead it until bubbles appear in dough (very important it makes the dough light). Roll dough out onto a floured surface (or use a pastry marble) and cut into 1x1 inch diamond shapes. Cut a slit into the center of the diamond and pull one end through to make a bow tie. Deep fry in hot oil until light golden brown (they turn themselves over when done on the one side). Remove from fryer and drain on paper towels or on newspaper - dust with powdered sugar. When cooled, store in a tightly sealed container. These cookies are so light that they just crumble when bitten into so wear a bib. Great with a nice cup of brewed coffee after dinner.
