About Angel Wings (Faworki)

Anna’s family faworki follow the Polish angel-wing pastry tradition she associates with Fat Thursday and occasional home treats. This version uses bread flour and whole eggs with sour cream, butter and a little alcohol.

The enriched dough has a lightly seasoned base beneath its powdered-sugar finish. Sour cream and butter contribute richness, while the sugar gives the pastry its sweet exterior.

The thin strips have a slit-and-twist shape with curled sides. Fried until golden, the pastries are described as light and crisp, with a fine dusting of sugar over the cooled surfaces.
