Angel wings - delicious and sooo easy to make. Light, yummy, crispy pastries that we could never get bored of. Served in our house piled up on plates during and for special occasions such as Christmas, Easter or birthdays and family gatherings. Perfect during lockdown where panic buyers cleared all the snacks shelves!
Ingredients
+ 200g plain flour +
+ 4 egg yolks +
+1 tablespoon of butter +
+ 2 tablespoons of rum +
+ 100g soured cream +
+ pinch of salt +
+ few drops of vanilla extract - optional +
+ sugar powder to sprinkle +
+ oil to fry +
Mix flour, salt, yolks, butter, cream, rum and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Use your hands to stir until the dough comes together, use a little more cream if necessary. Transfer onto table/worktop, knead for 1 minute then begin to throw it as hard as possible against the surface for couple of minutes to achieve an elastic and smooth effect. Roll out as thin as possible. Cut into 1x4 inch strips, cutting a slit in the middle of each strip. Pull one end through the slit, to create a twisted appearance. Heat deep pan/pot. Fry in batches, turning to cook both sides, until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper sheets then sprinkle with sugar powder.
