About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Roll the dough as thin as you can; thin faworki blister and turn shatteringly crisp.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Knead flour, yolks, sour cream, vodka, sugar and salt into a stiff dough; beat it with a rolling pin for 5 minutes to add air.

  2. 02

    Roll very thin (almost see-through) and cut into 1x4-inch strips with a slit in the middle.

  3. 03

    Pull one end through the slit to twist.

  4. 04

    Fry in 350°F oil 30 seconds per side until pale gold. Drain and dust heavily with sugar.
