Instructions

1. Heat deep fat to 375°F.
2. Beat egg yolks, whole egg, and salt together until very stiff, about 10 minutes.
3. Mix in confectioners sugar and vanilla or rum flavoring thoroughly.
4. Add flour all at once and mix well to form a dough.
5. Turn the dough onto a well-floured, cloth-covered board.
6. Knead until the surface is blistered in appearance, about 7 minutes.
7. Divide the dough in halves and roll out each half very thin.
8. Cut the dough into diamonds or rectangles about 4 x 2 inches.
9. Make a 1-inch slit in the center of each piece; draw a long point of the diamond through the slit and curl back in the opposite direction.
10. Fry until delicately browned in deep hot fat, about 30 seconds on each side.
11. Turn quickly and brown the other side.
12. Drain on absorbent paper.
13. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar just before serving.
