Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the egg yolks, whole egg, sugar, sour cream, salt, and lemon zest.
- Gradually add flour until a soft but not sticky dough forms. Knead for 5–6 minutes until smooth.
- Cover and let rest for 20–30 minutes.
- Roll the dough out thin (⅛ inch or less).
- Cut into rectangles or diamond shapes with a pastry cutter. Make a small slit in the middle of each piece and pull one end through the slit to form a twist.
- Heat oil (350°F / 175°C) in a deep pan. Fry pastries in batches until golden brown on both sides (about 1–2 minutes per side).
- Drain on paper towels.
- Generously dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips & Traditions
- Rum or brandy helps prevent the pastry from absorbing too much oil.
- Serve warm with coffee, tea, or even a little fruit jam.
- These are sometimes called “angel wings” in other European countries (Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, etc.).
