My mother-in-law gave me the recipe for these traditional Polish "angel wings." She's been gone for years now, but I still make them in memory of her. —Edward & Linda Svercauski, San Diego, California
Ingredients
-
3 large egg yolks
-
1 large egg
-
1/4 cup spiced rum
-
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

Oil for deep-fat frying

Additional confectioners' sugar
Directions

1.
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks, egg, rum, vanilla and salt until blended. Gradually add confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. Stir in flour until a stiff dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead seven times.

Divide dough into three portions. Roll one portion into a 1/4-in.-thick rectangle, about 12 in. x 5-1/2 in. Cut in half lengthwise, then cut dough widthwise into 1-1/2-in.-wide strips. Cut a 3/4-in. lengthwise slit down the center of each strip; pull one of the ends through the slit, forming a bow. Repeat.

In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry cookies, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.
