Crisps
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. This crispy pastry is made from a minimal list of ingredients and is sure to please everyone. Dust the crisps with powdered sugar only after they have cooled, so the sugar doesn't melt. Optionally, add vanilla sugar, ground cinnamon, or lemon or orange zest to the dough for a more aromatic and appetizing treat. Serve with tea or coffee.

Step 1

Prepare the listed ingredients. Vodka can be replaced with brandy or diluted moonshine; the alcohol in the dough won't be noticeable, as it is added to dry out the dough. It's precisely thanks to it that the crackers will become crispy!

Step 7

Pour vegetable oil into a cauldron or saucepan and heat it on the stove until boiling. Do not cover the container with a lid, otherwise the oil will splatter. Place the prepared pieces into the oil and fry for 1 minute on each side. If the dessert starts to burn, simply reduce the heat to medium. Keep an eye on the crisps—they brown very quickly!
