Title: Fattigmands Bakkels
Categories: Cookies, Norwegian
Yield: 24 Cookies
3 Egg yolks
1 Whole egg
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 c Powdered sugar
1 tb Rum extract
1 ts Vanilla
1 c Flour
Heat oil in a deep fat fryer to 375°F. Beat together egg yolks,
whole egg, and salt until very stiff, about 10 minutes. Blend in
powdered sugar and extracts thoroughly. Add flour, mixing well. Knead
dough on a well floured surface until blistered in appearance, about
7 minutes. Divide in half, roll out each half very thin.
With pastry wheel or knife, cut dough into 4x2" diamonds. Make a 1"
slit in the center of each, draw a long point of diamond through the
slit and curl back in the opposite direction. Fry about 30 seconds in
the hot oil. Turn over and fry for 30 more seconds. Drain well on
paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
