Airy brushwood

Airy brushwood - crumbly cookies

Airy brushwood is an easy-to-make cookie that turns out incredibly light and crispy. The dough is kneaded with kefir and vodka (for airiness), then rolled out thinly and cut into strips. Deep-fried until golden brown. Finished brushwood is sprinkled with powdered sugar. The peculiarity of this recipe is the porous structure and characteristic crunch. Stores well in a tin for several days.

Flour 2.5 cup
Milk 50 ml
Sour cream 75 g
baking soda 1 pinch
Eggs 2 pc.
Vanillin 1 pinch
Sugar 1 tbsp
Vodka 2 tbsp
vinegar 1 tsp
Vegetable oil 300 ml
powdered sugar to taste

Шаг 1

In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla, add sour cream and vodka, and mix thoroughly. Extinguish the baking soda with vinegar and add it to the dough. Gradually add flour, mixing everything well. The dough should be smooth and not stick to your hands.

Шаг 2

Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion thinly and cut into strips 8–10 cm long and 3 cm wide. Make a slit along the center of each strip, leaving about 0.5 cm at the ends.

Шаг 3

Take one end of the strip and pull it through the slit — it should resemble a bow tie.

Шаг 4

Pour vegetable oil into a pan and heat until it starts bubbling. Drop in 4–5 bows at a time and fry evenly on all sides until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon, place on a napkin to remove excess oil, then transfer to a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
