Christmas Angel Wings - Polish Chrusciki - Christmas Bow Ties Recipe

[@daksmom1999]

It’s a shame Jenny stopped doing these videos. They really showed her love of cooking, and her knowledge of cooking. She would crack me up with her comments in some of her videos. Don’t know why she gave up doing the videos, but it would be nice to see her do them again.

[@libbyworkman3459]

@daksmom1999. Jenny was born in 1946. Do the math. I would say, following her career, that she is probably skiing in Switzerland right now. She was always ahead of her time.

[@mddell58]

Just MY opinion, I think Jenny is simply 'LIVING' her life, with NO STRINGS ATTACHED. 👍 ♥️ 😃

My mother and grandmother were both from Lithuania. My mom used to make these probably once a year. We would eat them as fast as she would make them. They were incredibly delicious. Mom and dad and older brother have all been gone for 28 years… I miss them all and I love them and I think of them every day. Excellent parents, excellent big brother. 😊😊😊❤❤❤ I have a sister who is 75… She is my best friend! 😊❤

[@kathygolonka6944]

I'm Polish, Italian, and Irish and I know all sides of the family had recipes for these. But I only have the Polish one. I'm pretty sure they all used the old country ways too and used alcohol in everything because my recipe for these calls for brandy. And they are really good. Are Italian cookies all call for alcohol too lol.

@@kathygolonka6944 hello, There was a tradition, to make the “chrust”, or „faworki”(different names from different part of the country), on “tłusty czwartek” (fat Thursday), Thursday before Lent! Yes, there is alcohol in this recipe! Alcohol prevents soak and keep the fat from frying... I still don’t know if it true... but was so delicious!

My Slovak grandma and I used to make them. We used a metal wavy pinwheel to cut them so the design was pretty. That was my job. Mmmmm

[@88KeysIdaho]

I have a Scandinavian heritage, and a similar Christmas Cookie is called either Kleiner, or Fatigman, depending on whether you'r speaking Norwegian or Danish. We also have the roller with wavy edges, that makes diamonds with a slit in the middle. Rather than lemon and orange zest, Cardamon is the spice of note. It's interesting that these type of cookies exist in so many cultures. I like the name "Angel Wings." I've never heard that before.

[@msr1116]

I still have my family's little roller wheel...it might be an heirloom by now, lol. Lots of delicious memories, including the house smelling of fried dough for hours, just as the back of a bakery does.

Oh my goodness, these cookies bring back such fond memories. My fraternal grandmother used to make a huge container of these and bring them to our house when I was a kid. Funny thing, she was 100% Hungarian but still called these cookies Chrusciki. She lived in a mixed neighborhood of Polish, Serbian, Hungarian immigrants in Detroit (way before it went downhill) in the early 1900’s. She would have been 125 if she were alive today. My moms side of the family was 100% Polish. Unfortunately, I can no longer eat these cookies due to Celiac disease. I do make cheese strudel (phyllo dough from scratch) for my brothers occasionally. Thank you Jenny for bringing a smile to my face.

[@WiesawaRutkowska]

Jenny, for starters, I love your recipes :-) However, I don't know why people call chruściki "not healthy", when in fact chruściki are VERY healthy and exactly what our bodies need in the middle of a brutally cold winter. I grew up in the northern-eastern Poland, near the Lithuanian border, the winters can be quite punishing there. Chruściki is exactly the winter food we needed. My Mother used only sweet heavy cream in them, several eggs, and - guess what - fried them in the pork fat. The same goes for pączki. The unforgettable aroma and, never mind, the calories we needed to survive the winter :-) Chruściki and pączki is a winter food :-) Smacznego :-)
