Angel Wings (Polish Chrusty)

Called by many names, Chruściki, Bowties, Faworki and Angel Wings, these are Polish treat’s that my parents would enjoy when newly married. Daddy said that he would enjoy them with my grandfather around lunch before Lent. Grandpa would buy the treats and he and Daddy would have most, if not all the box eaten before getting home.

These are best the same day they are made.

  11. Pull one end through the slit, it will look twisted

Recipe Notes

Do not store in tightly covered lid. If they last that long, on the counter with a towel over is a good way to store.
