Faworki

Faworki, also known as Angel Wings, are a traditional Polish pastry made of thin, crispy dough that is deep-fried and dusted with powdered sugar.

Ingredients - Serves 12

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, egg yolks, sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough into a thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a pastry wheel, cut the dough into strips, about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long. Make a small slit in the center of each strip and pull one end through to create a twisted shape.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop a few faworki into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the faworki from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough strips.
Once the faworki have cooled slightly, dust them generously with powdered sugar.
Serve the faworki as a delightful sweet treat!
