We all know these fragrant cookies from childhood, sprinkled with a sweet layer of powdered sugar. It is very easy to prepare thin and crispy brushwood, and it can be fried in a matter of minutes. According to this recipe, the dough for him always turns out to be successful.
It is necessary
- - eggs - 3 pcs.;
- - flour - 4 glasses;
- - milk - 0.5 cups;
- - sour cream - 1 glass;
- - sugar - 5 tablespoons;
- - soda - 1 teaspoon;
- - vodka - 2 tablespoons;
- - refined vegetable oil - 1 glass;
- - icing sugar for dusting.
Instructions
Step 1
Separate the yolks from the whites. Mix the yolks with sugar and grind until a homogeneous light yellow consistency.
Step 2
Pour half a glass of milk and sour cream into the mass. Mix everything thoroughly. Add vodka. The vodka in the brushwood dough recipe is needed so that the flour does not become sticky, and when frying it forms a thin crispy crust. In this case, the alcohol will evaporate completely during heat treatment.
Step 3
We extinguish the soda with vinegar and add to the mixture. We mix. Then add flour in small portions, stirring with a spoon to avoid lumps. Then we spread it on the work surface and knead the tough dough.
Step 4
Divide the dough into several parts and roll it out to a thickness of no more than 2 mm - you should get the thinnest, almost transparent layer as possible.
Step 5
Cut the layer into strips about 3 cm thick and 10 cm long. In the middle of each strip we make a vertical incision of about 3 cm. We push one of the narrow ends of the strip into this hole and carefully tighten it so that the dough twists a little "with a pigtail."
Step 6
Pour the vegetable oil into the pan. The layer of oil should cover the brushwood by 2-3 cm. When the oil is well warmed up, put 4-5 strips each and fry on both sides until golden brown. The brushwood is fried very quickly.
Step 7
Put the fried brushwood on a napkin, and then put it on a dish and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
