Faworki (Chrust)

Perfect for Fat Thursday

Fat Thursday is for Christians last Thursday before Lent (which is 52 days before Easter). It begins the last week of the carnival. In Poland and in the Catholic part of Germany, according to tradition, bingeing, mainly donuts and faworkas is allowed on this day.

Today I present the recipe for Faworki from my great-grandmother’s book from 1958. Tasty and not very complicated, although it takes some time to make them. Remember to make the dough as light as possible.

Given the price and quality of faworków in confectioneries, it pays to spend some time on their performance.

Try and enjoy

Components

20 grams of flour
3 pcs of egg yolks
salt
3-4 tablespoons of thick, sour cream
1 teaspoon of baking powder (flat)
1 tablespoon of spirit
lard (for frying)
powdered sugar (for sprinkling)

Mix flour with sour cream, make a cavity, add egg yolks, a pinch of salt and baking powder. Mix all ingredients, knead until the dough reaches a homogeneous mass. And it will not stick. Take the rolling pin and hit the dough for a few minutes (5-10 minutes) by folding and turning so that it blows. Leave for 30 minutes. Roll the dough into batches very thinly (very much), as much as possible sprinkling with flour. Use a knurled or striped knife. Strap each strip along in the middle and move one end through the hole. Heat the lard. Make an attempt by throwing a piece of cake, if it comes out quickly and you can fry in the air. Fry on two sides to a light gold color. Filter on tissue paper. Put into a plate, sprinkle with powdered sugar and vanilla sugar. Enjoy your meal Other information
