Ingredients:  
2 cups of flour
½ cup of powdered sugar
½ teaspoon of salt
6 egg yolks
1 teaspoon of vinegar or spirit
1 teaspoon of baking powder
6 tablespoons of sour cream
Directions:
Directions:
Fill a medium-sized pot a 1/3 full with Vegetable oil and heat to 350°F.

Prepare a plate covered with a paper towel to lay the fried strips on as you remove them from the pot.

Sift 2 cups of flour onto a pastry mat and form a large hole in the middle.

Slowly pour the egg yolks into the middle, one at a time. Mix in the flour with the eggs. Add the salt, baking powder, and sour cream and continue kneading with your hands. Finally, add in the vinegar and knead the dough.

Once the dough is fully formed and smooth continue to knead, pressing harder and tossing it against the mat. This will aerate the dough making the angel wings crisper and lighter.

Divide the finished dough into 5 smaller pieces. Roll each piece into a 6” wide rectangle until it is very thin. Cut into 6” x 1” rectangular strips.Cut a small slit lengthwise through the middle of each strip and then weave one end of each strip through the hole to make a small knot (or twist) being careful not to rip the dough!

Once your oil is hot, you can begin frying the angel wings a few strips at a time. The strips will fry very fast. Remove each from the oil as soon as it is a light, golden color. Once golden brown, remove from the grease and place the Angel wings a paper towel to drip.

Once the angel wings have cooled, carefully place them in a pile on a serving platter and generously sift powdered sugar on top.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Angel Wings (Chrust) is a Slovak favorite. They are sprinkled liberally with powdered sugar. They are sometimes referred to as “Angel Wings”. When making them, feel free to double the recipe – they are really delicious!
