Polish Angel Wings or Chrusciki are delicate crispy little cookies. They are made from an egg yolk dough then rolled out super thin, cut into strips and deep fried. Chrusciki are traditionally made around Lent but we love to eat around Christmas as well. Place oil in a large deep pot or deep fryer and heat over medium heat.
Once your Polish Angel Wings have completely cooled place them in a single layer on another cookie sheet and sprinkle with a generous coating of confectioner sugar. Then enjoy! How do you store Polish Angel Wings {Chrusciki}? Chrusciki are best the same day they are made. After that you run the risk of them losing there flaky crispy texture.
Chrusciki is a non-yeast dough flavored with almond extract. The dough is cut into ribbons, formed into knots, and then deep fried and dusted with powdered sugar. They’re airy, crisp and delicate.
Faworki comes from the French word ‘faveur’ meaning grace or favor. They were originally heavy like donuts earlier but grew lighter and crisper as the centuries passed. In Poland, chrusciki are popular at Carnival time. You’ll also find them served at Christmas or some Polish weddings.
