Happy Fat Thursday! 🍩🍩🍩

Definitely my favorite holiday

[ahopefulbromantic]

trick or treat!!!

Hey and hi! For a Dziady treat you will get faworek or chrust/chruścik (chrust means brushwood lol, it's feather-light and yummy!)

We came to Dziady

Not for the prayers and the feast,

We don't need a memorial mass

Not for pączki, milks, or chrusty

(Dziady II, Adam Mickiewicz)

[things-are-heating-up]

2 cups of flour

4 egg yolks

5 spoons of creme fraiche

1 spoon of powdered sugar

pinch of salt

1 shot of vodka (optional)

lots of oil (for frying)

Mix all of ingredients (except oil)

You can the shot at any time

You can also add it to the dough

It's gonna be hard, but you got this

Mix with your hands

Once smooth and nice, flatten it with a rolling pin (or your other tool of choice)

Must be very very thin!

Cut in stripes (about half a finger wide)

Cut a vertical line in the middle

Pull one end through the hole (important! It's to make it look fancy!)

Deep fry until golden (which can take anything between 10 to 30 seconds)

Dry on a paper towel or in a sieve

Sprinkle with powdered sugar

Enjoy one of plenty traditional Fat Thursday dishes

Fat Thursday

Today is the best Thursday in the year! It’s Fat Thursday!!!

Traditionaly it’s the last Thursday before fasting. And to celebrate it, we eat. We eat donuts and faworki. And for a person like me who loves any kind of sweets it’s the best day ever! 

So, happy Fat Thursday everyone!

[pol-ski]

‘Angel wings’ – known in Polish as aniołki, faworki or chruściki – are a traditional pastry that’s deliciously sweet, light & satisfyingly crunchy. They are usually shaped into thin twisted ribbons, deep-fried then sprinkled with powdered sugar.
