Instructions For: Florentine Love Knot Cookies
Put flour into a bowl and mix in the butter.
Add the sugar, eggs, egg yolks, salt, lemon zest, and rum to the flour.
Work the ingredients into dough. If the dough is too dry add a little water.
Place the dough on a floured surface and knead well for 10 mintues. The dough should be smooth and shiny.
Cover and allow to rest in in a cool place for 1 hour.
Heat at least 3-4" of oil to 350F.
Divide the dough into fourths.
On a floured surface roll out one quarter of the dough until it is thin (1/6") and cut into strips about 4" x 1/2".
Tie each strip into a simple, loose knot.
Fry the florentine love knot cookies, 4 or 5 at a time, until puffed up and golden (about 1-2 minutes).
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Repeat with the rest of the dough.
Before serving florentine love knot cookies sprinkle with sifted confectioners sugar.
