Faworki

(Chrust, Chrusciki, Chrusty, Chruścik, Chruściki, Jaworki)

Polish faworki are crispy deep-fried pastries that are very similar to angel wings in taste and appearance. They are made with a thick and elastic dough consisting of egg yolks, flour, cream, and different flavorings. Rolled into thin, rectangular shapes, each piece is twisted in a form that resembles decorative bows.


When fried, the pastry turns into a crispy, light, and airy treat, which is usually generously dusted with powdered sugar. Faworki are typically prepared for special occasions and traditionally enjoyed as a luscious delicacy on Fat Thursday, the last day of the carnival season.
