I'm not Polish but married into it and love everyday. Thank you and your spouse for making wonderful home cooking videos

[@susanrosegale6646]

I’m half polish and my mother made these when I was a kid. She did not use the egg whites, so we also made coconut macaroons and dipped them in chocolate. Christmas ritual that I continued with my kids and plan to do with my grandkids. ❤😊 Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!!

[@christineteller366]

The memorys of Christmas eating angel wings over my Polish grandma house 😊she always made them at Easter 🐣 too

[@LaurieGaudino-gg5wr]

Darien, CT. Enjoy watching all the recipes my Grandmother made, which I, as a little girl would help her. Thanks you for bringing back those memories. Laurie

I grew up in Baltimore, MD and my mother is Polish, born in Baltimore. My grandfather came to this county as a young boy from Mary Plock, Poland. My grandmother was also Polish and born in Baltimore. Highlandtown area was made up of Polish people and the church, St. Stanislaus is closed along with the elementary school. The neighborhood no longer supported the church as people got older and families moved in and out. My grandparents, mother, aunts and uncles would speak in Polish when they argued or didn't want "little ears" to know what they were talking about. Wish my Mom could have taught me how to speak the language. We knew them as Chrusciki. I have also heard them called bow ties. Thanks for posting this video.

[@paulbegley1464]

Who are you trying to kid. Your dad made that board out of LOVE.

[@VioletTruxal]

KZbin decided I needed to watch you so sent me a link. I am enjoying how thoroughly you explain what you are doing. I know I will learn a lot from you. Thank you for sharing this recipe. My deceased mother is Polish. She taught me how to make and bake Polish recipes but she never used measuring spoons or cups - just a teacup or a drinking glass. So it is difficult sometimes to recreate recipes for pastries. I want them to taste like Mom made them.

[@karenmcdoanld8805]

I have to make these!! Not fair my mouth is watering so bad and you're eating in front of us!! I love the hand that comes out to get one!!

[@junebelcourt-suhaka1434]

My grand mother made those😋 I love your channel because it reminds me of my Polish grandmother and all the food she made!

[@60rayjay]

My Grandmother used Whiskey, for every shot she put into the dough mixture she had a shot for herself. They always came out great. Everyone loved them.

[@JeffHoneyager]

Takes me back to my childhood - Mom and I used to make them. Thank you Busha for teaching my Mom how to make these.

[@matthewbolduc2714]

Excellent presentation. New recipe for me and I like it. Might try to make it. Thank you.

[@tp8873]

I made these with my Mom growing up in the1980s Chicagoland. Yummy!

[@carolstevens1087]

You made me laugh when you said your grandma would have a shot of alcohol when making the dough.😂 Thanks for the humour.

[@710LENNY]

Haven't had these since the '60's. Mom translated them as pigs ears, have no idea why (a slight curl in the middle and the points on either end?). Alcohol is usually added to pastry to cut down on the production of gluten. It's a liquid, but it's not water, so the flour will absorb it and work with it but it won't become "tough". And I can see why, when you fry it, any remaining alcohol would evaporate and leave the pastry dry.

[@PolishYourKitchen]

Thanks for the scientific explanation of the process... grandma knew what she was doing 😉

[@bonnieluvstheblues6777]

My mother-in-law, born in Poland (but lived in a German-speaking/Lutheran community) called them 'pig's ears, too.

[@georgekabacinski]

Reminds me so much of my childhood days in Michigan. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

[@dorisdybowski3110]

😘❤ making for Christmas..😊

[@MA-bt8il]

My grandmom called these chruściki, but I never learned how to make them. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with me and showing me how to do it! Never knew about the alcohol... ;) Blessings!

[@vwalko]

That's when my mother used to call them I just couldn't remember it

[@BJ-fh2xc]

Memories of my Babcia. Your videos are getting better with each one. Keep up the great work!

[@maryefinke8026]

Chop sticks work to flip them over in hot oil. Thank you for sharing. Fond memories of these cookies.

[@wizorack]

Made these today with my daughter. Just like Gram used to make! Thank you!

[@jimswanny1193]

I so forgot about these, I can’t wait to make them for my grandsons.

[@cynthiaannblaha5127]

Just made these with my mother a couple of weeks ago for my granddaughter’s First Communion party. She used to roll them out with a rolling pin but now she uses a pasta maker. She rolls small balls and then feeds them through on different settings to make it very thin.

[@krislange1186]

This brought back many great memories! I remember my grandmother telling me to never forget the whiskey!! I tried making them once, but you know, it never tastes the same as when she made them!! I remember asking her how much flour to put in and her answer was always "As much as will fit!" I don't ever remember her using a measuring cup!! I'll have to try making these again!

[@bealehman9026]

For years I wondered why my mom's recipes never tasted the same as when she made them. After having kids, It occured to me one day that it was because of their lover or essence. I hear the same thing from my kids, it doesn't taste the same as when you make it mom!

[@kathystorch9201]

AWESOME video! I used to make these with my mother (she made the dough and I helped with the rest) for Christmas & Easter (it was a special treat!) I have her recipe but never tried to make them ... foolish of me! After watching you easily prepare these "light as air" and "oh so good" cookies I'm going to try making them too! Thank you for your inspiration!

[@PolishYourKitchen]

Hope you try them again👩‍🍳

[@starlovey1]

I'm going to try these today. They look amazing 😊

[@starlovey1]

I made these and they turned out beautiful ❤️ I didn't have moonshine but used Cherry rum and orange zest.

[@connieaquino1062]

I had a mother of English/Welsh heritage, but she made great Angel Wings and Yes she always added the whiskey.

[@vwalko]

I remember my mom back in this when I was so young still love them now I'm going to have to make some

[@barbaracimorosi1486]

Looking forward to teaching my granddaughter to make these. I will be making them soon, as this video make me hungry for them.

[@shuvanidev]

My grandmother made these and she would put them so carefully in a box for us to take home at Christmas - good memories. I tried making them once but they didn't turn out so good - they absorbed too much oil. Hers were always so delicate and crispy. Yours look beautiful!

[@trduesing4117]

Wonderful video! I am anxious to try your recipe. Thank you for sharing your time and your heritage in such a beautiful way.

[@amandastem6324]

Love the wood board with the flour guards. Wish your dad would make them for sale (hint ... hint ... hint).

[@Dreju78]

Google 'stolnica'. Maybe you'll find some 😉

[@annmarie9664]

When I was young and still living at home with my parents on Sunday afternoons, especially in winter, my mom would say lets make some chrust. My father or brother would wander into the kitchen to see how it was going. When we had a small plate filled they would take it into the tv room. This would repeat until we finished and the last plate was left. My mom and I would sit exhausted at the kitchen table and I would remark, we worked all afternoon and all we have left to show for it is this one little plate full! because my brother and father would hae eaten every one and with great restraint left this one plate full (probably 6) for the cooks.

[@mvhill59]

I've never had the nerve to attempt making angel wings, but you make it look so easy.

[@richardzbikowski1337]

My grandma Stella Wasielewski Trendel made them.Kruschicki American I love you Anna

[@lilyradloff7877]

Oh wow, I have been wanting to make these for so long, but couldn't find the recipe. Thank you so much!!!

[@PolishYourKitchen]

You are so welcome!

[@bethraisbeck368]

Hahaha, You reminded me of my mom's storytelling of my farther and "Everytime, the first bite" ... about powder suger. I think she told the story more times than he did it... but he loved her so he may have just like to hear her laugh ;) God Bless

[@bellablisslife5785]

Ow wow my friend was polish and she made these all the time loved them!

[@redtigerlily8165]

Thank you! just like my great grandmother used to do!

[@garyciapa5474]

My Babcia made these,thanks for this video

[@gurl_friday1116]

Took me forever to find the name of this cookie 😂 my family called them neck ties . I guess we was liberal even back in the 1970s plus I think it would freak little ones out eating angels or the wings of angels . My grandparents was straight out of Poland 🇵🇱 so honestly I’m sure they called it by the polish name I was young so I don’t remember. So strange my family changing the name on both sides of my parents families but a hell of a google search to get here . ❤ Thanks

[@freya33]

i know them by chruściki, thanks for the recipe! i hope vanilla vodka will do the trick 😅

[@PolishYourKitchen]

I hope so too!

[@DavidKozinski]

Great memories of making these with my Grandmother.

[@maryannfournier5404]

I haven't had Chrusciki for a long, long time. I think I'll have to try your recipe. It doesn't look hard at all. I never knew about putting alcohol in a dough to keep the grease off! Thanks!

[@jcsallen3]

My mother always used my Dad's Crown Royal! Gave a wonderful taste. These are alot of work and you kneed them till the dough starts to blister.

[@maryannfournier5404]

@@jcsallen3 I remember making them as a kid, about 15 years old. They're delicious!

[@Paulinaf35]

My Mom used to make this!❤️

Use mineral oil when oiling wood, to obtain a food grade wood finish.

[@kimbrown3752]

I am hoping I can make these Gluten Free because this is an amazing childhood food memory for me!

[@PolishYourKitchen]

Good luck! Let me know if you do.

[@TM-nu5vd]

We called then chruściki too -- and could eat them all day long!!

[@maureenedonovan9935]

Can you get your papa to draw some directions to make the pastry board? I think I could actually do that myself and would like to do some for my sister, daughter and granddaughter who also cooks a bit. When I move to Texas I will teach her how to cook and bake more.

[@wfqsfg]

I've seen the use of alcohol on "Good Eats" on the Food channel for a couple of different recipes including pie crust. Using alcohol instead of water prevents the production of gluten in the dough. It keeps the pastry from being chewy. Obviously the higher alcohol content the less amount of water. Alton Brown would use vodka. I haven't had these in decades. We used to have these when visiting my Polish grandmother. I was wondering if you were gong to mention breathing when biting one. That is one of my memories of them. LOL!! We called them chruściki.

[@denisereccardi7251]

Where do you find the recipe? Reminded me of cooking these with my babci

[@felixoskarmikolajski8593]

If you have to roll it out into such thin stripes why wouldn't you use the Kitchen Aid pasta add on to do it?

[@PolishYourKitchen]

You sure can, I was just going old school. Thanks for watching.

[@cindydemetro3261]

1My mom made these for everyone's wedding, my question how to store them?

[@PolishYourKitchen]

Storing them in your belly is best. I'm afraid they don't keep well in the freezer, and go stale on the counter. These are best eaten as soon as possible. Thanks for watching!

[@gmiernik]

Hey Anna Merry Christmas to you and your family. That stolnica. Ohh my mom misses hers robila kluski do rosolu na takjej. Market that up. I got her a marble slab yet she claims it’s not as good as a stolnica. I’ve got the tools to make her one but HomeDepot fails in the food grade wood department. Please please please show us how to make and what smalec is.

[@PolishYourKitchen]

Greg, ask and you will receive! Smalec is on the list! Stay tuned.

[@oneitalia2312]

You are adorable!

[@sophiesweeney7322]

Question.... can I reuse the leftover oil-lard combo from when I made paczki to make the Chrusciki? And thank you for this wonderful tutorial and building my confidence to attempt making another one of your awesome recipes. Happy Fat Tuesday and Thursday ❤️🇵🇱

[@PolishYourKitchen]

That depends on how soon you want to use the oil again. Once you use oil it starts to turn funky relatively quickly. I know it sounds wasteful, but I try to use fresh oil every time in order to get the freshest tasting product I can. Thanks for watching!

[@lisapop5219]

You're giving me childhood flashbacks

[@kristinamyslowski5193]

What is the name of the board you are using to roll/cut on? I am wanting to get one like this.

[@PolishYourKitchen]

In Polish, it's called "stolnica", I think it's generally called a pastry board.

[@kristinamyslowski5193]

@@PolishYourKitchen Oh, thank you so very much. I appreciate your response.

[@elizabethplewa6506]

What #setting on the kitchen aid pasta roller do you use to roll out dough?

[@PolishYourKitchen]

Set it to the thinnest setting 👍🏻

[@joannemarson3309]

Do you think it’s possible to use an air fryer for these?

[@PolishYourKitchen]

I'm not sure Joanne. I don't have one, but my husband has been thinking about getting one recently. If you do try it, let us know how they turn out, and thanks for watching!

[@coralkarrass1834]

M Gram was a bit of a cheater. We made this from the left over pie dough which obviously isn’t the same but she called it the same. We got to eat those as snacks while we were baking and cooking for a holiday.

Do you live in Poland?

[@PolishYourKitchen]

Yes 😊

[@donnarichey144]

I have a friend lives here from Poland and he says all the dishes he has eaten here that is supposed to be polish does not taste the same because of living in a different country. Growing the grains for flour and all are different.

[@PolishYourKitchen]

I can’t say I share that experience.

[@catherinematrisotto6619]

I never fried in oil. I was taught to use crisco. I also use an electric fry pan.

[@PolishYourKitchen]

Crisco is also oil just in a different form. 😀👩🏼‍🍳

[@bonnieluvstheblues6777]

How much Crisco would you use? I like the idea of an electric frying pan.

When you mention a kitchen item or utensil say what it is in Polish.
