| 1. About 20 minutes before frying fill a deep saucepan halfway to 2/3 full of oil, lard, or shortening, and heat slowly to 365°F or follow the manufacturer's directions for set-up if using an automatic deep-fryer. | 2. Sift together flour, sugar, and salt into a bowl. | 3. Mix together the egg yolks, sour cream, whiskey, and vanilla, then make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour the wet mixture inches. | 4. Mix the ingredients until all of the flour is moistened. | 5. Let dough rest 1-2 minutes. | 6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by folding opposite side over towards you, then using the heels of your hands to push the dough away, then give it a quarter turn and repeat process just until ingredients are well blended (always turn the dough in the same direction and use as little additional flour as possible). | 7. Shape dough into a smooth ball and roll out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle 1/8-inch thick (if you don't have enough space to do this, divide dough in half first, then roll out the halves seperately). | 8. Use a spatula to loosen the dough, lift it slightly and sprinkle a little flour underneath anywhere the dough sticks. | 9. With a floured knife cut the dough into diamond shapes about 2-inches wide at the center and 6-inches long (you can make a cardboard pattern beforehand and use that as a guide if you wish). | 10. Make a 1-inch slit lengthwise at the center of each cookie, and pull one end through the opening, twisting slightly as you do. | 11. Deep fry only one layer of cookies at a time (don't crowd the pan). | 12. With a fork, turn the cookies several times as they fry and as they rise to the surface, but be careful not to pierce the cookie. | 13. Fry until lightly browned (about 3 minutes). | 14. Drain cookies over fat for a few seconds and then drain on paper towels. | 15. Sprinkle cookies with powdered sugar while still hot. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
