Khrustyky (Ukranian)Source: Taste of Home - December/January 2002 - Field Editor Carol Funk 2 eggs 3 egg yolks 1 tablespoon whipping cream 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt Oil for deep-fat frying Confectioners' sugar In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks, cream and vanilla extract. Beat in sugar. Combine flour and salt; stir into the egg mixture just until smooth (dough will be soft). Divided into four portions. On a well-floured surface, roll out one portion to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 1 1/2-inch strips; cut strips diagonally into three pieces. Cut a 1 1/2-inch slit lengthwise into the center of each piece; pull one end of strip through slit to make a loop. Cover shaped pieces while rolling out and cutting the remaining dough. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 2-3 inches of oil to 375 degrees F. Fry pastries, a few at a time, until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar while warm. Yield: 1 1/2 dozen pastries
