These little fried bow knots were so good. My mother really had the knack for them. You need to have the whiskey or rum so they blister when they fry. Sprinkled with confectioners sugar they are special.

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 3 T. sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 3 T. cream
  • 1 jigger rum or whiskey
  • 1 1/4 cup flour
  • dash of salt

Instructions

  • Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored.
  • Add salt, vanilla, sugar cream and whiskey.
