Pour the flour into a bowl, add the egg yolks, vinegar or vodka, and sour cream.
300 g wheat flour - all-purpose, 4 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon vodka, 130 g sour cream
Knead into an elastic dough.
If the dough doesn't want to stick together, you can add a little more sour cream.
Beat the prepared dough with a rolling pin for several minutes - hit it with the rolling pin, and when it flattens, fold it and hit it again. If you get tired, you can roll the dough into a flat cake, fold it into three like a sheet of paper, and roll it again.
Wrap the dough in cling film and set aside for half an hour (you don't need to put it in the fridge).
Cut off a piece of dough and roll it out into a very thin flat cake - use as little flour as possible for dusting (I didn't use any at all).
Cut out circles of three different diameters from the dough - I had ones about 5 cm, 4 cm, and 2 cm.
Make several cuts around the circumference of each circle with a knife.
Stick the circles together, with the largest at the bottom, then the medium, and the smallest in the middle, then firmly press them together in the center - I pressed them with the handle of a knife.
Set the finished flowers aside - cover them with a cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Knead the remaining dough again, roll it out, and cut out circles.
Pour oil or put lard into a wide saucepan - heat to a temperature of about 170 degrees.
Put a few flowers in at a time - with the small circle facing down, and fry until golden brown, then flip them over and fry for another minute.
Remove the roses using two forks, gently shake off excess oil from each, and place them on a paper towel to absorb any remaining oil.
Place a little marmalade in the center of each flower, then sprinkle the whole thing with powdered sugar.
