12 egg yolks

1 whole egg

¼ lb powdered sugar

Mix Together and beat until light-colored. Add 1 wine glass of cognac. Work gradually into this mixture about 1 quart of well-sifted flour. When dough is rather stiff, knead it lightly, cover and let stand for an hour or two.

Then roll out as thinly as possible, cut each into elongated diamond-shaped pieces, slash each one in the center, pass one end through the cut, and fry in deep lard.

Sift powdered sugar over the fritters.
