Put the flour in a bowl and stir in the salt.

Use a pastry cutter or large fork to cut in the butter until the mixture is sand-like and crumbly.

Beat the egg yolks in a different bowl until they are foamy.

Add the vanilla and milk to the flour.

Add the egg mixture to the flour.

Stir until you get a dough.

Lightly flour your work surface then turn out the dough and knead it for 30 seconds.

Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a rectangle, ¼-inch thick.

Now cut the rectangles into 1½-inch strips.

Cut a 2-inch slit down the center of each strip then pull one end through the hole so you end up with a bow shape.

Heat a couple of inches of oil in a deep frying pan, then fry the dough bows in batches until golden.

Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and allow to cool.

Dust them with powdered sugar just before serving.
