Original Recipe Yield 2 dozen (approx.)

Ingredients

3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
4 cups canola oil for frying

Directions

Mix together egg yolks, cream, salt, sugar and butter. Gradually stir in flour until dough becomes stiff enough to roll out.
Roll out paper thin and cut into triangles. (Grandma would cut a slit in the middle of each and twist a corner through the slit to make them look fancier.)
Put enough oil in a pot to cover cookie. Heat oil until a small amount of dough placed in oil begins to fry. Deep fry each cookie in hot oil until light brown. Remove cookie from oil and drain excess oil on paper towels. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.

Editor's Note
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
