My Polish grandmother used to make these and while I don't have her recipe, here is one I found searching the web. The Polish name is Chrusciki (not sure about the spelling) which may help you find a recipe if this one doesn't sound right. They are lots of work but I remember they were crisp, light and delicious!

CHRUSCIKI (POLISH BOWS)
Polish, Cookies
8 servings

9 Egg yolks
3 tb Sour cream
1 tb Rum
1 ts Vanilla
Confectioner's sugar for dusting
3 c Flour (sifted)
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
3 tb Sugar
1 Oil for deep frying

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until well combined.
Add sour cream, rum and vanilla and mix until smooth.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and add it to egg yolk mixture, a little at a time. On a heavily floured surface knead the dough vigorously, punching and squeezing as much flour into it as it will take until the dough is no longer sticky (1/2 hour).
Separate dough into several portions and roll very
thin. Turn the dough and loosen often when rolling.
The dough should look like parchment paper that you can see through. Cut dough into strips approx. 1 1/2 inches wide, 4 inches long. Make slit closer to one end and bring the longer end through the slit (to form a bow tie). Heat oil to 375 degrees and fry quickly (only a few seconds) until golden but not brown. Turn only once. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners sugar. Makes 8 dozen.
