Italian Angel Wings
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The special feature of this recipe is that rum is added to the dough, which can be replaced with regular vodka. The khvorost turns out very tender, extraordinarily aromatic and tasty. When you knead the dough, keep in mind that the flour varies and the eggs differ in size as well. Therefore, you may need a little more or a little less alcohol than the amount specified in the ingredients. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
