There is probably no easier recipe than making brushwood cookies. No special ingredients are needed. Everything you need can be found in the house of every hostess.
It is necessary
- - 0.5 kg of wheat flour,
- - 50 g of sugar,
- - 1 egg,
- - 1 bag of vanilla sugar,
- - 1 tsp baking soda or 1 sachet of baking powder,
- - highly carbonated mineral water,
- - sunflower oil for frying,
- - icing sugar.
Instructions
Step 1
Mix baking powder (or soda) with flour. Add the rest of the products and knead the hard dough in mineral water (like for dumplings). Roll out a layer 0.5 cm thick. Cut into strips 1 cm wide, 7-8 cm long.
Step 2
In the middle of the strips with a sharp knife, make longitudinal cuts through which to turn out the brushwood (you can use a curly knife). Boil the sunflower oil in a frying pan, turn the brushwood, and fry until golden brown. Sprinkle with icing sugar after cooling.
Step 3
This is how I prepare traditional shaped brushwood. But different shapes can be cut. The brushwood in the form of flowers turns out to be very beautiful.
The dough should be rolled out to a thickness of 0.3-0.5 mm. Cut out an equal number of circles with a diameter of 3, 4 and 5 cm. On each, make cuts along the radius in several places. Pour the whipped protein into the middle of the circles with a diameter of 4 and 5 cm. Make flowers. Fix the center with a wooden stick. Fry in sunflower oil until golden brown, sprinkle with powdered sugar after cooling.
