Instruction manual
1
Separate the yolks from the proteins. Mix the yolks with sugar and grind to a uniform light yellow consistency.
2
Pour into a mass of half a glass of milk and sour cream. Mix everything thoroughly. Add vodka. Vodka in the brushwood dough recipe is needed so that the flour does not become sticky, and a thin crispy crust forms during frying. In this case, the alcohol will completely evaporate during the heat treatment.
3
We extinguish soda with vinegar and add to the mixture. Mix. Then pour the flour in small portions, stirring with a spoon to avoid lumps. Then put it on the work surface and knead a cool dough.
4
We divide the dough into several parts and roll it to a thickness of no more than 2 mm - it should turn out as thin as possible, almost transparent layer.
5
We cut the layer into strips about 3 cm in thickness and 10 cm in length. In the middle of each strip we make a vertical incision of about 3 cm. Insert one of the narrow ends of the strip into this hole and carefully tighten it so that the dough twists a little “pigtail”.
6
Pour the vegetable oil into the pan. A layer of oil should cover the brushwood by 2-3 cm. When the oil is warm well, put 4-5 strips and fry on both sides until golden. The brushwood is fried very quickly.
7
Put the fried brushwood on a napkin, and then transfer to a dish and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
