POLISH CHRUSCIKI (BOW TIES)



Polish Chrusciki (Bow Ties) image

These are our favorite cookies for Christmas. About as addicting as potato chips! Mom would make tons of them - a roasting pan full! We would just keep them on the dining room table and every time you walked by you had to take a few! For storing these cookies, just cover lightly with aluminum foil so they stay crispy. Traditionally, Chrusciki (hrrooss-CHEE-kee) are associated with the pre-Lenten feasting of Mardi Gras. In America, chrusciki or Polish crullers are served at any special occasion.

Time 29m59S

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 large egg yolks, at room temperature
1 large whole egg, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon rum
2 cup all-purpose flour
canola oil for frying
confectioner's sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Combine egg yolks, whole egg and salt in bowl of mixer. Beat at high speed until thick and lemon colored, about 5 minutes. Beat in sugar, sour cream or cream, vanilla and rum. Add flour gradually to form a cohesive dough. This dough is very soft. Add just enough flour so the dough is no longer sticky.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured board, divide in half, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
  • Working with half of the dough at a time, roll out to 1/8-inch thickness. These are best when the dough is paper thin. Cut into 1 x 3 inch wide strips.
  • Heat 2 inches of oil in a large, deep skillet to 350 degrees. Make a slit in the center of each strip of dough, then pull one end through the slit to form a bow.
  • Fry about 6 chrusciki at a time for 1 minutes or less per side or until golden. These fry quickly, so watch closely. Drain on paper towels. Dust generously with confectioner's sugar.

POLISH ANGEL WINGS-CHRUSCIKI



Polish Angel Wings-Chrusciki image

This is a classic Polish cookie that my mom and Bushia used to make at Christmas time. I've found that this is a really hard dough to work with, but it is from the original Polish recipe translated into English. These are not really sweet cookies, but they get most of their sweetness from the powdered sugar on the outside.

This is the Polish version of angel wings.

Provided by Sue Peters

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Eastern European     Polish

Time 1h30m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 egg yolks
1 egg
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon whiskey
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
1 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks, egg, sugar, salt, vanilla, and whiskey. Stir in 2 cups of the flour. If dough is sticky, add the rest of the flour. Knead dough for 5 minutes; divide into three parts. Keep dough pieces covered with plastic wrap until ready to use.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Or, alternately, melt 2 pounds lard(see Editor's Note). Oil should be about 1 inch deep.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of the dough until it's paper-thin. Cut into parallelogram (long diamond) shapes, and use a sharp paring knife to cut a slot in the centers. Pull one point of the diamond through the slot; set aside and repeat with remaining pieces.
  • Fry 2 to 4 pieces at a time, depending on the size of your pan, about 5 to 10 seconds on each side. The cookies should not be browned. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels; dust with confectioners' sugar when cool. Store any remaining cookies in an airtight container.

POLISH BOW COOKIES - KRUSCHIKI OR CHRUSCHIKI RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Polish Bow Cookies - Kruschiki Or Chruschiki Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Alqualonde

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 egg yolks
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon rum
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 cups flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until well combined. Add sour cream, rum and vanilla and mix until smooth. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and add it to egg yolk mixture, a little at a time. On a heavily floured surface knead the dough vigorously, punching and squeezing as much flour into it as it will take until the dough is no longer sticky (1/2 hour). Separate dough into several portions and roll very thin. Turn the dough and loosen often when rolling. The dough should look like parchment paper that you can see through. Cut dough into strips approximately 1-1/2 inches wide, 4 inches long. Make slit closer to one end and bring the longer end through the slit. Heat oil to 375 degrees fahrenheit and fry quickly (only a few seconds) until golden not brown. Turn only once. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners sugar.
