Faworki pancakes served with powdered sugar

Faworki Pancakes

Faworki pancakes are inspired by traditional Polish faworki, also known as angel wings. Faworki are thin, crispy fried pastries, most often enjoyed dusted with powdered sugar. This sweet treat is especially popular in Polish and Central European cuisine during Carnival season. The Faworki pancakes version is slightly thicker and easier to shape, but retains the crispy, sweet flavor profile of the original recipe. It's the perfect choice for a festive breakfast or a delicious dessert that evokes the classic Carnival atmosphere.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and vanilla sugar.

    2

    Add the eggs and sour cream, then mix until a pliable dough forms.

    3

    Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, then cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

    4

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough very thinly, then cut into small rectangles.

    5

    Make a lengthwise slit in the center of each rectangle and pull one end through the slit to create a twisted shape.

    6

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

    7

    Fry the faworki pieces for 30-40 seconds per side, until golden brown and crispy.

    8

    Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

    9

    Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
