Crispy cracklings with vodka

Description

The pastry is easy and quick to prepare. Despite its simple preparation, the crunch turns out to be melt-in-the-mouth delicious. The key is to prepare the dough properly, shape it nicely, and fry the treat to perfection. Traditionally, crunch is dusted with powdered sugar, but there are other options: sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, cocoa powder, or combinations thereof. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   In a bowl, beat the yolks with sugar until white and foamy.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Add sour cream, milk, vodka, and mix.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Add the sifted flour and salt, and knead until you get a smooth, elastic dough.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Place the dough on the table and roll it out into a thin layer, about 2-3 mm. The thinner the dough, the crispier the straws will be.

5. 5

   Step 5

   Cut the dough into 3 cm wide strips using a regular knife or a pastry cutter with a decorative wheel, then cut them into 10 cm diamonds. Make a small slit in the center of each diamond, pull the long ends through it, and spread them out.

6. 6

   Step 6

   In a cauldron or deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to boiling (but not to the point of smoking!) and place several pieces of fried dough into it so they float freely and cook evenly.

7. 7

   Step 7

   After 1-2 minutes, flip the twigs to the other side with a slotted spoon and fry for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

   Step 8

   Place the fried honeycomb into a colander lined with a paper towel.
