Ingredients
- 5 egg yolks
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon brandy
- 2 tablespoons yoghurt, slightly rounded
- 16 ounces self-raising flour
- oil (for deep frying)
- icing sugar, for dusting
Directions
Beat the egg yolks and salt until thick and lemon coloured.
Add the sugar and brandy and continue to beat; add the yoghurt; then stir in the sifted flour, working by hand into a dough.
Knead the dough on a floured board until the dough begins to blister, then roll it out as thinly as possible.
Cut the dough into ribbons about an inch wide, then divide it into 3 inch long strips.
Make a down the centre of each strip and carefully pull one end through.
Fry the pastries in heated oil until they are puffed and just golden, turning them once.
Drain them on absorbent paper and once they have cooled, dust them with sifted icing sugar.
