Warsaw Faworki 🎀
Tłusty Czwartek's other star: ribbon-thin dough laced with egg yolks and sour cream, knotted into bows and fried to glass-brittle crunch under powdered sugar.

Method
-
1
Work flour, yolks, sour cream, softened butter, sugar, salt and vanilla into a smooth dough; add the spoon of spirit — it keeps the faworki from drinking oil.
-
2
Rest 30 minutes, then roll paper-thin (1 mm) — the thinner, the more they shatter.
-
3
Cut 4 x 7 cm rectangles; slash a 3 cm slit in the middle and pull one end through to tie the bow.
-
4
Fry in 180°C lard in shallow bath, once each side, until chestnut-gold and pocked with bubbles.
-
5
Drain on paper, shower with powdered sugar through a sieve, and eat the same day — tomorrow they chew.
