  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 6 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (83.2 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 40 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 12 g Egg yolks, raw
  • 10 g Sour cream
  • 5 g Sugar
  • 3 g Spirits
  • 0.2 g Salt
  • 8 g Vegetable oil
  • 5 g Sugar, powdered

Method

  1. Beat the egg yolks with the sour cream, sugar, spirits and salt, then work in the flour to make a smooth, elastic dough; knead for 5 minutes until it feels silky.
  2. Rest the dough for 15 minutes, then roll it out very thin.
  3. Cut into strips about 3 cm wide and 12 cm long, slit a short line lengthwise in the middle of each, and pull one end through the slit to form the twisted 'angel wing' shape.
  4. Heat plenty of oil in a deep pan to 180 °C (350 °F) and fry the strips in batches for 1-2 minutes, turning once, until pale golden and crisp; only a little oil is actually absorbed.
  5. Drain on paper towels, cool slightly, and dust generously with the powdered sugar before serving.
