traditional Whitsun pastries

Whisk the egg yolks with the cream, rum, anise or cinnamon, and salt. Knead in the flour. The dough will be rather firm. Let it rest for 1 hour before forming it into small balls, which you then roll out into wafer-thin discs. Place the discs in the hot oil, place a fork in the center of the dough discs, and twist the fork slightly during baking. Serve with fruit sauce.
