- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1-1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions
- 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.
- You may put in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour to firm up more for easier rolling.
- 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
