Instructions: In a large bowl, beat eggs, whipping cream, and brandy or vanilla until blended. Beat in sugar. Gradually add flour, making a stiff dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough, 1/16" thick. Cut dough into 4" x 2" diamonds. Cut a slit, lengthwise, in center of each diamond. Pull one end through the slit to make a "twist" or "bow" out of the dough. Heat oil to 375 F in a deep pan. Fry twists about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. When cool, dust with powdered sugar.
