Prep Time2 hours
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time2 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Sour Cream
  • 5 Egg Yolks
  • 3 c Flour
  • 5-8 tbsp Rum
  • Crisco for frying
  • Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients together by hand.
  • Cover the dough and chill for about 20-30 minutes.
  • Pull off a piece of dough and keep the rest in the refrigerator.
  • Roll out the dough really thin.
  • Cut the dough into strips about 1.5 inches wide and 4-7 inches long. Cut a small slit in the center of each strip. Fold one end of the strip over and though the slit.
  • Fry in crisco until lightly golden on each side. Let them drain and cool on a brown paper bag. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • The amount of dough you roll out will depend on how big of a space you have and how quickly you can get them rolled, tied, and fried. Will need to do it in several batches.
  • The size of each will vary, just don't go too wide or too long or they will be hard to handle while frying.
  • The process of tying them will take some practice, as the dough is thin it will break easily.
  • Be sure your bow ties are not drying out before frying them, work in smaller batches if they start to dry and get hard.
  • If your Crisco starts to get dirty, you will want to change as needed otherwise the dough will start to brown and burn too quickly.
  • Be sure to let the bow ties cool completely before putting them away otherwise, they will get soft and soggy.
