This crispy, dainty pastry pastry dusted with confectioners' sugar has an eggy flavor similar to cream puffs. I honor my Ukrainian heritage by serving khrustyky on Christmas Eve as part of the traditional feast of 12 dishes. Each dish symbolizes on of the apostles.Carol Funk, Richard, Saskatchewan Ingredients:
2 eggs |
3 egg yolks |
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
oil for deep-fat frying |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks, cream and vanilla. Beat in sugar. Combine flour and salt; stir into the egg mixture just until smooth (dough will be soft). Divide into four portions.
2. On a well-floured surface, roll out one portion to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into 1-1/2-in. strips; cut strips diagonally into three pieces. Cut a 1-1/2-in. slit lengthwise into the center of each piece; pull one end of strip through slit to make a loop. Cover shaped pieces while rolling out and cut the remaining dough.
3. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 2-3 in. of oil to 375°. Fry pastries, a few at a time, until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar while warm. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen pastries.
