I know this is probably the wrong way to ask this question. But with all the history of my family being polish and whatnot. I really miss my Grandma's Ostafin's famous food she made. Does anyone perhaps have the recipe for polish cruskiki. Not sure if I spelled it right. Its the flaky fried dough type pastry with powered sugar on it. I think thats how its spelt not sure. If anyone has a recipe for it, please email me directly or email back here. Thanks Ron

Ron, Bear with me, I have the recipe, I also know it can be found online. Very Basic, and a Very pain in the tusch. I remember flipping them into bowties every christmas.

Ron, Here you go Chruschiki 6 egg yolks 3 Tablespoons sour cream 1 cup flour (you will need to add more to get the right consistency) 6 Tablespoons sugar 1 oz. rum 1 teaspoon vinegar Powdered sugar Oil for frying (I always use lard) In large bowl, mix together egg yolks, sour cream and flour. Add sugar, rum and vinegar (add additional flour if needed) It will take 15 to 20 minutes to work the mixture, by hand, into usable dough. I use the hook on my mixer to knead. The dough will remain a little sticky. Divide dough into workable sections. Roll thin. Cut into one and one-half inch strips then cut strips into pieces about 4 inches long. Cut a slit in the center of each piece and pull one end through the slit. Heal Oil (Lard) in deep pan and fry dough two pieces at a time. As soon as they float to the top they are done. This only takes 8-10 seconds. (I like mine slightly brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar when cool. Makes about 50.

Thank you so much, I really want to try this out, and want to make it at my next family function. My mother used to make them when she was a little girl, but stopped making them after my Babci passed away. She says she lost the recipe, I think its because Babci made them the best, and my mom doesn't want to out due her. But if I make them I am pretty sure, they won't be as good, but my Mom will be able to enjoy them, and not have to worry about the feelings part -----Original Message----- From: Kuba <jimpres1@mac.com> To: poland-roots@rootsweb.com Cc: mniam@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sun, 27 Apr 2008 6:29 pm Subject: Re: [POLAND] polish food Ron, Here you go Chruschiki 6 egg yolks 3 Tablespoons sour cream 1 cup flour (you will need to add more to get the right consistency) 6 Tablespoons sugar 1 oz. rum 1 teaspoon vinegar Powdered sugar Oil for frying (I always use lard) In large bowl, mix together egg yolks, sour cream and flour.

Hi Ron, Here is a good site that explains the Chrusciki cookie and the cooking process. I do remember them referred to as Bow Ties but I always loved the sound of the word. My aunt made them for every Easter and Christmas and we ate them as fast as potato chips. I can't imagine how many days she spent making these. I would bet that instead of shortening they may have been fried in lard in those days. If you type "Chrusciki" in google you will get several variations on the recipe.
