Fattigmand Cookies
CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 6 | Ready In: < 30 minutes
Ingredients:
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons whipping cream
1 teaspoon brandy or vanilla
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
vegetable oil for deep-frying
powdered sugar
Directions:
In a large bowl, beat eggs, whipping cream, and brandy or vanilla until blended. Beat in sugar. Gradually add flour, making a stiff dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough, 1/16" thick. Cut dough into 4" x 2" diamonds. Cut a slit, lengthwise, in center of each diamond. Pull one end through the slit to make a "twist" or "bow" out of the dough.
Heat oil to 375 degrees F in a deep pan. Fry twists about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. When cool, dust with powdered sugar.
NOTE: Also known as Fattigmann, Fattigmandbakkelse, Futtiman, Fattigmanskakor, and Poor Men these are crispy delicate deep-fried cookies. A Fattigmand cutter may be used to cut these out but a knife or pastry wheel works just as well.
