Faworki (Angel Wings)

All-purpose flour does the heavy lifting here, with egg yolks rounding it out. A Polish snack that takes 60 minutes, start to finish.

Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 4 Egg yolks
• 1/2 cup Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 2 tbsp Vodka
• 6 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Steps

1. Mix the flour, yolks, sour cream, butter, sugar, and vodka into a firm dough; the vodka keeps them shatteringly crisp.
2. Knead 10 minutes, slapping the dough against the counter — tradition demands it.
3. Roll paper-thin; thick faworki are a disappointment.
4. Cut strips, slit the center, and pull one end through to form the twist.
5. Fry in 350-degree oil 60 seconds per side until pale gold; they should puff instantly.
6. Drain and bury in powdered sugar while hot; faworki stale within a day, so share fast.
