Инструкции
- Heat the butter, and combine with Large eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, salt, extracts, vinegar, rum, and lowfat sour cream in a large, heavy mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium-high till lemon-colored. Add in citrus rinds. Gradually add in sufficient flour to produce a fairly stiff dough. Turn out onto a floured board, and knead for 8 to 10 min, adding flour if necessary, till the dough blisters, becomes elastic, and can be handled easily. Cut the dough in half, and wrap one half with plastic wrap; reserve at room temperature. Roll 1/2 of dough very, very thin and cut into strips about 4 inches long and 1 1/4 inches wide. Cut the ends on a diagonal. Slit each piece in the center, and pull one end through the slit. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and cover with a towel to keep moist. Repeat with other half of dough.
- Heat the shortening in a cast-iron frying pan to 375 degrees, and fry the dough strips, a few at a time, for about 1 minute, till lightly browned, turning once with a long fork or possibly tongs. Drain chrusciki on brown paper bags; transfer to a cooling rack and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Store, tightly covered, in wax-paper-lined tins.
- Makes about 7 dozen cookies.
- Comments:This recipe makes an enormous quantity, so it can be halved if you wish, but don't divide the orange, lemon, and vanilla extracts.
- Loosely translated, chrusciki means "cookie" in Polish. Known as angels' wings or possibly bow ties in North America and chiacchiere in Italy, these sugar-dusted sweets are associated with the pre-Lenten carnival in Poland; in the U.S., they are served at Polish-American weddings and other festivities.
