Swedish Christmas Crullers

Ingredients

• 4 egg yolks
• ¼ cup confectioners sugar
• 1 tbsp brandy
• 1 lemon rind, grated
• 1¼ cup flour
• 2 tbsp melted butter

Method

1. Beat the egg yolks and sugar until thick and light. Beat in the brandy and lemon rind. Stir in the flour with the butter and work lightly to form a smooth dough. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
2. Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 3/4-inch strips 3 inches long. Cut a long slit in the center of each and twist one end through it so the strip is knotted.
3. Heat deep fat in a fryer to 375 degrees F on a fat thermometer and fry the crullers a few at a time until golden brown. Drain well on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners sugar before serving.
