Faworki
Faworki, also known as angel wings or chrust, is a traditional Polish pastry that is often enjoyed during special occasions like weddings, holidays, and carnivals. These delightful treats are made by deep-frying thin strips of dough until they become crispy and golden. Once fried, they are usually dusted with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, melted butter, and milk.
- Mix everything together until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- After the resting time, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it's very thin, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut the rolled-out dough into strips, approximately 1 inch wide and 4-5 inches long.
- In a deep pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully drop a few strips of dough into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown on both sides. This should take about 1-2 minutes per side. Be cautious as the strips can fry quickly.
- Once fried, remove the Faworki from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Allow the Faworki to cool completely, then dust them generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve and enjoy!
