Polish Angel Wing Cookies
   
Ingredients
  
 12 egg yolks  
1 egg  
2 tablespoons white sugar  
1 teaspoon vanilla extract  
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour  
2 pounds lard  
1 tablespoon whiskey  
1 teaspoon salt  
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
  
Directions
  
In a medium bowl, mix eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, and whiskey.  Stir in 2 cups of the flour.  If dough is sticky, add the rest of the flour.  Knead dough for 5 minutes; divide into three parts.  
Melt lard in a deep fryer or deep frying pan.  Hot oil should be about 1 inch deep.  
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough paper thin.  Cut into long diamond shapes and make a slot across the center.  Pull one point of the diamond through the slot fry in hot lard for about 5 to 10 seconds on each side.  Cookies should not be browned.  Drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar when cool.
