About 3 hours before serving, sift flour with salt. With electric
mixer at medium speed beat egg yolks with granulated sugar, lemon
rind and almond extract until thick; add sour cream; mix well.
Gradually stir in flour mixture, then knead in bowl until dough is
pliable. Cover bowl with towel, then let stand about 1 hour.
On lightly floured board, roll out part of dough paper thin (set
aside, rest, covered). With pastry wheel, cut rolled out dough into
strips about 5 x 2-inches. In center of each strip, cut slit about 2
inches long, then pass one end of strip through this slit.
In deep saucepan, heat salad oil to 370 degrees on deep fat frying
thermometer. Fry about 3 pastries at a time, turning once until golden
brown. Drain on paper towels (over newspaper) While still warm,
sprinkle pastries generously with confectioners sugar. Especially
nice to serve with fruit compote, fresh or canned fruit.
