Fattigmands Bakkels

Heat deep fat to 375°.

Beat egg yolks, whole egg and salt until very stiff, about 10 minutes.

Blend in confectioners sugar and flavorings thoroughly.

Add flour all at once and mix well. Knead dough on well floured cloth-covered board until surface is blistered in appearance, about 7 minutes.

Divide in half; roll out each half very thin.

With pastry wheel, cut dough into 4 x 2 diamonds.

Make 1-inch slits in center of each; draw a long point of diamond through slit and curl back in opposite direction.

Fry until delicately browned in deep hot fat, about 30 seconds.

Turn quickly and brown on other side; drain.

Sprinkle with confectioners sugar just before serving.
