2 cups of flour
Yolks of 2 eggs, and 1 whole egg
1 tablespoon of sugar
2 tablespoons of either brandy or white wine

Oil for frying
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Make a stiff dough with 2 cups of flour, the yolks of 2 eggs, and 1 whole egg, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of either brandy or white wine.

Knead well and when quite firm roll out the paste on a floured board and cut into strips or ribbons.

Tie each strip carefully into a bow or rosette, and fry in a deep pan of hot oil.

Remove when a golden color and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
