Flancati
Thin Slovenian carnival pastries enriched with egg yolk and cream, twisted, fried crisp and dusted with sugar.
About Flancati
Flancati are Slovenian angel-wing pastries traditionally made for Carnival and Lent festivities. This profile follows Jernej Kitchen's krhki, or brittle, version with egg yolks, whipping cream, rum, vanilla and lemon zest.
The pastry has a mild buttery richness from cream and egg yolk, with vanilla, lemon and rum adding a delicate festive aroma. A final dusting of powdered sugar supplies clean sweetness without turning the dough cakey.
Each piece is a thin, twisted ribbon with blistered golden surfaces and crisp, fragile edges. The interior is airy and brittle rather than soft or bread-like, with a light white sugar coating.
