RECIPE
Ingredients:
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 250g flour
- pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- oil for frying
- powdered sugar for sprinkling
Directions:
- Mix flour, egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, salt and vanilla extract together.
- Knead the dough until it blisters. Roll out the dough thinly and cut into stripes (about 10 cm long and 2 cm wide).
- Cut a small slit in the middle of each stripe, pass one of its sides through it and afterwards pull it through (to make a shape of a twisted ribbon).
- Start frying it in hot oil until they gain golden colour. The dough cooks fast, less than one minute each. You will turn them half way through. As soon as the dough changes color to a very light brown, remove them from the oil with tongs. After taking chrusciki out from the oil, place them on the kitchen roll.
- Put them on the plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- Good luck with making polish “angel wings”!
Just be careful because when you start eating them you can’t resist until the plate is empty.
You must fry them in lard to have the right taste. Oil or shortening doesn’t have the right taste.
thanks reference the lard, gotta use the old fashioned stuff.
We used lard because back in the 30,s there wasn’t, any oil ,l made it wth oil was fine ,didn’t know the difference
I have made these for decades and always use veg oil. Taste normal to me.
Making these for the first time for a polish project for my daughters class. I’m curious to know if I could make the batter tonight and fry them in the morning without sacrificing any flavor? Thanks.

Yes, you can make the batter tonight and fry them in the morning :)
I have done that, but you must let it come back to room temp.before you start rolling them out.
Don’t know gram for the flour measure can u help
2 cups
My Grandma made these for an after school treat…she called them Wonders,you didn’t have to wonder who had been into them,powdered sugar everywhere!
I haveyhave grandmother’s recipe for this but this is a manageable small batch size. We add a little rum Maybe because they are so labor intensive grandma needed a little nip. Put flour down to roll them. Flour and powdered sugar everywhere.lol. But worth it.
I have been looking for this recipe forever. But my Nona (grandma) would add rum, I think. Have you ever done that? and thanks to whoever posted it had to be done with lard, Im sure you are right, the old fashioned stuff for the right taste.
