Kroust

Ingredients

2 cups of flour
3 egg yolks
2 tbsp soft butter
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
3 tbsp vinegar
lard or oil for frying

Mix butter, egg yolks, sugar and vinegar. While mixing, slowly add in the flour.
Knead the dough. Keep kneading for 15 minutes. When ready put dough in a bowl, cover and let stand in a cool place for an hour.
Roll out the dough until it is very thin. Cut 2x7 inch strips, make a slit in the middle, and pull one end through.
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil or lard. To test readiness, put a small piece of dough in it, if it immediately comes to the surface the temperature is right. Put 4-5 strips at a time into the oil and deep fry on both sides. Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
