Poland

Faworki  

("Angel Wings", a popular Polish dessert, often served at
Easter or Christmas)

-5 egg yolks
-1/2 C. powdered sugar
-2 Tbs butter, brought to room temperature
-6 Tbs sour cream
-2 Tbs distilled white vinegar
-3 C. all-purpose flour
-1 C. oil for frying

1) Beat egg yolks and 2 Tbs. of the powdered sugar until white.
Continue beating while gradually adding sour cream, butter, and
vinegar.
2) Sift flour onto a board, add yolk mixture, and work ingredients
into dough. Knead vigorously 5-7 min., then beat with rolling-pin
about 10 min, until texture is silky. Roll out as thin as possible.
3) To form Faworki, cut a thinly rolled-out dough sheet into strips
and then cut them again into smaller pieces.
4) Make a slit in each piece and pull one end through it to create a bow.
5) Heat oil, and fry faworki in small batches so they can float
freely. (Faworki taste the best if fried on lard but vegetable oil
will work too.) Remove from oil, drain on paper towels.
6) Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
