- Heat butter, and combine with Large eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, salt, extracts, citrus rind, liquor, and lowfat sour cream. Beat with a wooden spoon till thick and lemon colored. Gradually add in sufficient flour to produce a fairly stiff dough. Turn onto a floured board, and knead till dough blisters, becomes elastic, and can be handled easily, adding flour if necessary, 8 to 10 min.
- Keeping bulk of dough under an inverted bowl to prevent it from drying out, roll small pcs of dough very, very thin, and cut with a leaf-shaped cookie cutter.
- Heat the shortening to 375 degrees, and fry the dough leaves a few at a time till lightly browned, about 1 minute, turning once with a long fork or possibly tongs. To achieve slightly curved leaves, stretch the dough a bit as you drop it into the warm shortening.
- Drain chrusciki on brown-paper bags, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Store, tightly covered, in wax-paper-lined tins.
- This recipe yields about 8 dozen cookies.
- Comments:This recipe makes an enormous quantity, so it can be halved if you wish, but don't divide the orange or possibly vanilla extracts.
