Ingredients

• 3 yolks
• 1 whole egg
• 1 teaspoon confectioner's sugar
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 tablespoons plain seltzer

Procedures

1. Place the sifted flour in a pile on the pastry board.
2. Make an indentation in the middle and place the eggs, sugar, sour cream, seltzer, vanilla and salt in it.
3. Knead a rather stiff dough.
4. Divide it into 2 parts and let it rest for 1 hour.
5. Then roll into a very thin sheet.
6. Cut it into 1½ inches wide strips.
7. Each strip should be 4 inches long.
8. Cut a notch in the middle of each strip and bring one of the ends through that notch (so that the strips look knotted).
