"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:

2 t. vanilla
1 t. almond or rum flavoring
8 T. sugar
4+ cups flour
3 t. baking powder
Oil for frying
Confectioners’ sugar
Directions:
Directions:
Whisk the eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla; add flour 1 cup at a time stirring until sticky dough. On well-floured surface place dough. Knead several times until smooth. Dough will be soft. Divide dough into 4 balls, cover and let sit 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile add enough oil for frying. On well- floured surface roll out dough to a large rectangle, dough should be very thin. With a pastry cutter cut strips 1-in by 8-in. Tie strips in a bow, by gently taking the two ends and folding one over the other. Make enough bows from the first two balls of dough before you start frying them. Fry bows in oil on medium heat until golden brown; turning over once during frying. Remove and put on cookie sheet lined with paper towels for draining off excess oil. While cookies are still warm powder them with confectioners’ sugar. Continue cutting strips and making bows with remaining dough, while your frying the prepared bows. It works best if you have two people one frying and one making the bows.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These cookies are a Christmas tradition at our house, my family always asks me to make them. My grandmother was from Italy and as a child I would help her make them. She would make bushel baskets of them for weddings. However she never gave anyone her recipe, so this is as close to her recipe as I have from my childhood memories.
