ANGEL WINGS RECIPE ( TRADITIONAL CHIACCHERE RECIPE )

Steps:

• 01 - Sift the flour together with the baking powder in a large bowl. 02 - Add a pinch of salt, the sugar, the butter, the liqueur and vanilla, and the eggs, and knead it together until everything is very well mixed and completely smooth. Add some flour to prevent sticking. 03 - Put the dough into some plastic wrap and let it rise for a half an hour in a cool and dry place ( not in the fridge ). 04 - Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces of about 300gr / 10oz / 0.6lb each. ( While you work on the first piece, the other 3 should remain in plastic wrap to keep them from drying out ). 05 - Flat the dough using a pasta machine ( or a wooden roller ) You can use a fixture for pasta sheets which can be connected to an electric mixer, or you can simply use the classic pasta machine with a crank which you can easily find in houseware shops. 06 - Pass the dough inside the roller, fold the sheet into 3rds, turn it and go again. 07 - Turn the dial setting to the middle thickness. Cut the dough at this point in half or otherwise the dough will become prohibitively long. Cut it in two and now let's continue like we did before. 08 - Put some oil into a large pan. The chiacchiere should float inside the pan, so you need a lot of oil. 09 - Make any shape you'd like and fry at 350C / 662F.

POLISH CHRUśCIKI (ANGEL WINGS)

Steps:

• Combine the egg yolks, whole egg, and salt in the bowl of a mixer. Beat at high speed until thick and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes.
• Beat in the confectioners' sugar, cream , vanilla, and rum. Add the flour and beat until the dough comes together, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured board, divide it in half, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for at least 20 minutes.
• Working with half of the dough at a time, roll it out to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut it into 2-inch-wide strips. Cut these strips on the diagonal at 4-inch intervals.
• Heat 2 inches of oil to 350 F in a large, deep skillet.
• Make a slit in the center of each strip of dough. Then pull one end through the slit to form a bow.
• Fry six chruściki at a time for 1 minute or less per side or until golden. They will fry quickly, so watch them closely. Place on paper towels to drain.
• Dust with the confectioners' sugar and drizzle the chruściki with honey, if desired.
• Serve and enjoy.

ANGEL WINGS - KHRUSTY

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together to form dough smooth enough to roll out.
• Place your dough on a floured board, or counter top.
• Use a rolling pin and roll out the dough very thin, 1/8 inch thick or slightly thinner.
• Use pizza cutter, and cut 1 inch wide slices, then cut these into 3 inches long pieces.
• Make a lengthwise slid in the middle of each of the 1 x 3 inch pieces, leaving at least ¼ inch from each end.
• Pull one end through the slid, to form a twist.
• Fill a frying pan with canola oil, about 2 inches deep.
• Heat the oil to about 200 degrees (to test the oil, drop in one piece of dough, and if it starts to sizzle, the oil is ready).
• Place your angel wings in the hot oil, as many as you can fit without crowding them.
• Fry for one minute on one side.
• Turn them over (I use a fork), and fry on the other side for another minute.
• Using tongs, remove golden fried angel wings onto a platter lined with paper towel, to absorb any excess oil.
• Cool them completely.
• Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar on both sides.
