Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour , sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 5 egg yolk
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 pinches salt
- 1 tablespoon alcohol or white vinegar, of your choice
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- icing sugar , or sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- On a work surface, mix the baking powder, sugar and flour.
- Make a well in the center and add the eggs, cream, salt, butter, and alcohol.
- Knead until reaching a smooth and homogeneous dough, about 10 minutes.
- Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and let stand for 2 hours at room temperature.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough vigorously (incorporate 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour if the dough sticks too much) and roll it with a rolling pin to a thickness of ⅛ inch (6mm) (or thinner for crispier chruściki).
- Using a pastry wheel or knife, cut rectangles of about 2x1 inch (5 x 2,5 cm) and make an incision in the center of each rectangle. Take each rectangle and spread the incision to move one of its two smaller sides in this incision.

- Deep fry in a oil preheated at 350 F / 170 c, turning chruściki halfway through cooking until very golden brown about 1 minute per side. Fry a few pieces at a time without overcrowding.
- Drain and place on a plate covered with paper towels. Roll in powdered sugar or sugar.
