Classic brittle pastry (khvorost)
Description
Homemade treats for tea. If you don't have a deep fryer, don't worry. You can easily replace it with a regular saucepan or a small pot. The straws will slightly increase in size during frying. Classic straws are very simple to prepare, and this recipe has one small secret that makes the pastry crispy and incredibly delicious. I'll tell you. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
