Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/8 cup flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp sweet cream or evaporated milk
to lessen soaking up oil in frying add 1 tbsp brandy or 1/2 teaspoon vinegar (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Beat the eggs thoroughly. Add the rest of ingredients, except flour, and beat again. Add 1 cup of flour, stir and if necessary add more, a teaspoon at a time until the dough is of rolling consistency (about 5 to 6 teaspoons). Knead until smooth, cover and let rise for at least 15 minutes.

On a lightly greased board roll out the dough quite thin (1/8 inch or less). Slice the rolled dough in long strips 1 1/4 inches wide, then diagonally across, cut each strip in pieces 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches long. At the middle of each piece cut lengthwise a half-inch slit; draw one end through the slit and fold back; place under a cover to prevent drying.

Deep fry (in non saturated oil), turning once, until golden on both sides. Drain on paper towel. When cooled dust with icing sugar. For quick and easy dusting use a sieve.
