Polish bow ties (Chrusciki)





4 egg yolks
8 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup flour
1 large can Crisco
1 tsp. vanilla
powdered sugar

Mix egg yolks, heavy cream and vanilla.   Add flour and knead dough for 20 minutes until bubbles form.  Heat Crisco in electric frying pan at 350 degrees.  Roll dough out very, very thin.  Cut pieces into 2 to 3 inches long by 1 inch wide.  Cut a slit in the middle (long wise) and insert one end of dough through slit, making a sort of bow tie.  Fry in hot oil for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side.  Drain on paper towels or brown bags.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
