Equipment

  • 1 Oven
  • 1 Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoon shortening
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Start by combining the heavy cream and sour cream in a small bowl the night before. Cover with cling film and chill after whisking until smooth.
  • one cup each of heavy cream and sour cream
  • Set the cream mixture out to warm up when you're ready to begin. Then, set your oven's temperature to 475°F (246°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Cream the sugar, shortening, and egg yolk in a large basin.
  • The cream mixture should now contain the vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Next, add the wet ingredients to the sugar that has been creamed. Combine thoroughly after mixing. The dough should be sticky after adding the flour and being fully combined. To make the next process easier, you can chill the dough for an hour before handling it.
  • Use a well-floured surface to roll out the dough because it is sticky. Pull off bits of dough that are about 1 12 inches in diameter and form them into balls. Coat each ball completely in flour. When there is less flour on that side of your work surface, move the dough pieces there and roll them into a rope shape (approximately 8-9 inches long). You can fold the rope over like a pretzel, shape it into a "infinity sign" or a "8," or form it into spherical coils, but these take longer to bake.
  • Place each piece of dough that has been shaped onto the baking sheets that have been preheated. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the bottoms are just starting to turn a light golden colour. The amount of time needed to cook can vary depending on how thick the "ropes" are.
  • When done, take the baking sheet out of the oven and let it cool for approximately five minutes before moving it to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
