- Yields:
-
24-36 pastries
ingredients
-
Liquids
- 1⁄2 pint whipping cream
- 1⁄2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
-
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (she used vanilla) or 1 teaspoon lemon extract (she used vanilla)
- enough flour, to cover your bread board or counter very well
directions
- Beat all the liquids together well in a large bowl.
- Mix the dry ingredients together well in a medium bowl.
- Add dry ingredients to liquids.
- Then add either the vanilla or lemon extract.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Set oven to preheat at 400 degrees.
- The dough is very sticky.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out about a'golf ball size' spoonful of dough.
- Having your counter or bread board covered with flour (it takes quite a bit to avoid having it stick -- ), drop the spoonful onto the flour and roll it enough to get all the outside coated with a thin film of flour.
- Then roll the dough like a thin (1/2" thick or slightly less) rope.
- Putting the rope on your pre-greased cookie sheet, twist the ends over one another one time.
- Bring the loop at the top down over the twisted ends.
- That should make the shape you want (a figure eight shape).
- Put about 12 on each cookie sheet, and begin baking.
- Put the first cookie sheet on the lower (not at the lowest level, though) rack in your oven.
- Bake for 6 minutes (be exact -- she set a timer!) then transfer that sheet to the top rack of your oven (if you have an electric oven with the broiler on top, don't put them very close to the heat).
- Bake another 6 minutes (exact -- ) and take them out.
- They should be lightly browned on both the top and the bottom, if you have the correct temperature in your oven.

Tasty and very tender. I made a couple figure-8's but then went cookin4my3boys' route and made long, thin, ladyfinger-like shapes. I had mine with butter and honey and Bf had his with butter and cherry preserves. Yummy. Very tender, sticky batter, but actually amazingly easy to handle. I think these would be extra good if the final coating of flour was replaced by powdered sugar. I don't know if that would work... I may have to try it the next time. And there will be a next time. Loved them!
