Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 38 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
2 (9 1/4 by 10-inch) sheets puff pastry (about 9 ounces each), thawed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup yellow sanding or white granulated sugar, or a combination (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone sheet.
  • Pulse the granulated sugar and lemon zest in a food processor until fine and fragrant.
  • Lay 1 of the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Brush the sheet with about half of the butter and sprinkle with half of the lemon-sugar. Lightly press sugar into the pastry with a rolling pin. Place the other pastry sheet on top, brush with the remaining butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Carefully roll the pastry out into a 12-inch square, about 1 1/8-inch thick. Trim uneven edges with a pizza cutter or a knife to make a perfect square.
  • Starting on the closest edge, roll the pastry up into a cylinder but stop at the mid point of the dough. Roll the pastry up on the opposite side so it looks like an old-fashioned scroll. Adjust the rolls so they are even and meet in the center. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 20 minutes.
  • Slice the roll, crosswise, with a serrated knife into 1/4-inch thick pieces and lay on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cookies soften, about 10 minutes. Working quickly and efficiently, remove the cookies from the oven--if they have lost their shape, gently roll them back together. Let cool on the pan for a minute to set. Turn them with a spatula (take care to keep the shape) sprinkle with the yellow sugar and return to the oven. Continue to bake until golden brown, about 15 more minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack, sugary sides up, to cool. Serve.
  • Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 days.

POLISH ANGEL WINGS-CHRUSCIKI



Polish Angel Wings-Chrusciki image

This is a classic Polish cookie that my mom and Bushia used to make at Christmas time. I've found that this is a really hard dough to work with, but it is from the original Polish recipe translated into English. These are not really sweet cookies, but they get most of their sweetness from the powdered sugar on the outside.

Time 1h

Yield 24-30 pieces, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon alcohol (Rectified Spirit 95% )
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
oil (for frying)
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together to form dough smooth enough to roll out.
  • Place your dough on a floured board, or counter top.
  • Use a rolling pin and roll out the dough very thin, 1/8 inch thick or slightly thinner.
  • Use pizza cutter, and cut 1 inch wide slices, then cut these into 3 inches long pieces.
  • Make a lengthwise slid in the middle of each of the 1 x 3 inch pieces, leaving at least ¼ inch from each end.
  • Pull one end through the slid, to form a twist.
  • Fill a frying pan with canola oil, about 2 inches deep.
  • Heat the oil to about 200 degrees (to test the oil, drop in one piece of dough, and if it starts to sizzle, the oil is ready).
  • Place your angel wings in the hot oil, as many as you can fit without crowding them.
  • Fry for one minute on one side.
  • Turn them over (I use a fork), and fry on the other side for another minute.
  • Using tongs, remove golden fried angel wings onto a platter lined with paper towel, to absorb any excess oil.
  • Cool them completely.
  • Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar on both sides.
