Krusczyki
Makes about 3614 egg yolks
2 cups sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
8 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups shortening
1/3 cup powdered sugar
In a large bowl mix together all ingredients. Stir into a ball, then turn dough out onto a floured surface . Knead dough for 1/2 hour. If you have a mixer with a dough hook attachment, mix for about 15 minutes. Let dough rest for 10 minutes. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into strips that are 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. In the center of each strip, cut a 1 inch slit, lengthwise. Pull one end of the strip through the slit to form a bow. In a frying pan or an electric skillet, melt shortening and heat to about 350 F. Place cookies in hot oil. Cook on both sides until lightly browned then remove to a paper towel. Dust cookies with powdered sugar. The powdered sugar may absorb some of the oil, so you may want to dust them several times.
Note: Alternate spellings: Kruschicki, Chrusciki, Kruschici.

Would make this again.
I made this recipe because they sounded like my Bunia's faworki recipe. Let me just say its a cheap immiatation not even worth comparing to the original Polish desert.By the way where did the name Krusczyki come from I've only heard them being called faworki!?!

This is a Polish/Ukrainian recipe, but very similar to Romanian "minciunele".

these were great. I was hoping that they would taste similar to a recipe that my grandmother unfortunately took with her when she left us. she called them chrysalis cookies and they were fried. If anyone has any idea on that recipe it would make my families holiday season.

Would make this again.
The recipe was ok but I use 12 eggs and 2 tablespoons of brandy to uplift the flavor.

this is very much like my recipe but i add 1/4 cup of bourbon for browning and for flavor. try it you'll like it.you may have to add a little more flour to compensate. just use bench flour.

These are great but I also sprinkled them with a sugar-cinnamon mixture to have the recipe to give it a bit of a variation.
