Enlarge Credit: Todd Coleman MAKES ABOUT 2½ DOZEN
INGREDIENTS
2 cups flour
¼ tsp. kosher salt
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 egg yolks
Canola oil, for frying
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl, and form a well in the center; add sour cream, vanilla, and yolks, and slowly stir together until dough forms. Transfer to a floured work surface, and using a rolling pin, roll dough until ⅛" thick. Using a fluted pastry cutter, cut dough into l"-wide strips, and then diagonally cut strips into 3"-long segments. Using a paring knife, cut a 1" slit lengthwise in the center of each segment, and thread one end of the segment through the hole and out the other side, pulling ends apart again to form a knot; set pastries aside.
2. Pour oil to a depth of 2" in a 6-qt. Dutch oven, and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°. Working in batches, add pastries, and fry, tossing in oil, until puffed and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pastries to paper towels to drain briefly, and then dust with sugar; serve immediately.
