Faworki (Angel Wings)
Crispy, twisted pastries dusted with powdered sugar, traditionally made for Fat Thursday (Tłusty Czwartek) but enjoyable any time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 4 large Egg Yolks
- 2 tbsp Sour Cream
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a bowl, combine flour, egg yolks, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
- 2Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until it is very elastic and pliable. This is crucial for crispy faworki.
- 3Roll out the dough very thinly on a floured surface.
- 4Cut the dough into strips about 2.54 cm wide and 10.16 cm long.
- 5Make a slit in the center of each strip and pull one end through the slit to create a twisted shape.
- 6Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 175°C.
- 7Fry the faworki in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- 8Remove the faworki with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 9Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
