Florida to New York.  The sun was nice and warm. The visit with family and the wonderful food was fantastic.  The back to reality snow won’t seem so bad once my buddies come home. Shane and Zoey return from their “vacation” tonight.  Ted and I can’t wait to see them.

In the meantime, we’ll enjoy “Angel Wings”

CNYEats Angel Wings4

From our book A Taste of Utica, on page 194 posted by Mikki Markowski this recipe is for a fried crisp, light cookie called Chrusciki or Polish Angel Wings.   Once again, I did not fry the cookie but heated canola oil in a 500 degree oven then placed the cookie dough on the hot oil to cook for 5 1/2 minutes.

Makes 60 “wings”

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 jigger run

Add the salt to eggs and beat until thick and lemony colored.

Add the sugar, butter and run and beat until well blended. 

Fold in the flour and knead for 5 – 7 minutes.

Roll out thin and cut into thin strips about 4” long. Place a slit in the center of each strip and pull one end of the dough through the slit. Fry in vegetable oil until light brown and drain on paper towel.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

*Thickness of strip is up to you.

Even baked in oil, these little treats are light as….well, light as Angel Wings.
