Crunchy Molded Honey Crisps
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. I remember this kind of brittle from my childhood and still love it. Knead the dough until it reaches a consistency similar to thin kefir. I don't recommend replacing vodka with water, as it's the vodka that makes the brittle crispy. If you find the brittle not sweet enough, sprinkle it with powdered sugar. I don't recommend increasing the amount of sugar, as the brittle becomes tougher due to sugar caramelization. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
