Farfalette Dolci
"Farfalette Dolci"
It was the family joke when my Italian Grandmother ("my Nonna" -- Carolina Berti Bazzani) TRIED to bake ANYTHING (I'm serious, we once threw one of her cakes against a wall and it put a crack in it) but no one joked when she made these Italian cookies (maybe it was the whisky and we just didn't know what we were eating -- actually, she made a SUPER Sugar Cookie, too, but I never got that recipe -- shucks!!)

4 Egg yolks
2 C. Sifted Flour
2 Eggs
1/3 C. Powdered Sugar
2 T. Brandy, whisky or rum
4 T. Sour Cream
Combine all ingredients and blend well into a stiff dough. Refrigerate overnight. Roll a large piece at a time on floured surface until very thin. Cut into strips 3/4" wide on the diagonal with a pastry wheel. Cut vertically into pieces 5" long. Make a split in the center of each piece and draw one end of the piece through the slit. Deep fry at 375 degrees. Drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
