Steps
- Mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Whisk 3 egg yolks, 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon of rum. Mix into the flour, adding a little more cream only if needed for a stiff dough. Knead thoroughly.
- Roll as thinly as possible. Cut into 1 × 4in / 2.5 × 10cm strips and slit the center of each. Pull one end through the slit to twist.
- Heat 2in / 5cm of lard in a deep pan to 350°F / 175°C. Fry in batches, turning until golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels and dust with icing sugar.
