| 1. Using a stand mixer, whisk whole eggs, egg yolks, butter and salt until thick and lemon colored. | 2. Slowly beat in the confectioner's sugar and brandy. | 3. Change to the dough hook and slowly mix in the flour a 1/4 cup at a time until the dough forms and pulls away from the bowl. | 4. Using the dough hook, knead the dough for 3-5 minutes. It should be thick like bread dough. | 5. Keep the dough in the bowl covered with a damp towel to keep it from drying out. | 6. Snip off a baseball sized piece of dough. On a floured surface, roll to 1/8 inch thick at the most! | 7. Using a sharp knife cut the dough into 1 1/2 inch wide strips. Then cut the other way in a diagonal to make pieces of dough that are about 1 1/2 X 4 inches. | 8. Next use your knife to cut a slit in the center of each piece. | 9. To form the wing shape, take one pointy end and poke it through the slit. Very gently pull the end through the slit to form a bow shaped cookie. | 10. In a heavy pot or deep skillet, heat the fat of choice (I like lard) to 350°F Use a thermometer! | 11. Drop the cookies, 3 cookies at a time, into the fat. Drop 3 cookies at once not 1 at a time. The cookies will sink to the bottom at first then they will puff up and float a couple of seconds later. As soon as this happens use a couple of forks to turn them. | 12. Immediately after you turn them use a deep fry strainer to remove them from the fat to drain on brown paper bags. | 13. Dust the still hot cookies with confectioner's sugar and repeat, cooking 3 cookies at a time until finished. | 14. Store in tightly covered, wax paper-lined tins. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
