Time 55m

Yield 40 cookies, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 egg yolks
1/4 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon brandy
1 tablespoon lemon rind, finely zested
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except oil in a bowl and mix well. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Turn the chilled dough out onto a floured surface and roll out thin. With a pastry wheel, cut strips 3/4 inch wide by 3 inches long.
  • Cut a gash about 1 inch long in the center of each strip. Twist one end of the strip through the slit. It will look kind of like a knot.
  • Fry in deep oil at 375F until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  • Crullers are a Christmas delicacy served with jam as dessert or at coffeetime.
