Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 large egg yolks
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups vegetable oil or lard (for frying)
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and lemon zest. Mix well.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sour cream, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Step 5
After the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut the dough into rectangles approximately 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. Cut a small slit in the center of each rectangle, then pull one end of the dough through the slit to create the signature twisted shape.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil or lard in a deep frying pan or pot to about 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it; it should sizzle and float to the top.
Step 8
Carefully add the twisted cookies to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Step 9
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cookies from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Once all the cookies are fried and slightly cooled, generously dust them with powdered sugar before serving.
