Hungarian Deep-Fried Angel Wing Cookies (Csoroge) are a classic sweet treat that have been enjoyed for generations in Hungary. These cookies are known for their flaky, bow-tie shape and sweet powdered sugar topping. While they are a deep-fried treat, they are perfect for special occasions or as a sweet snack to enjoy with friends and family. The subtle hint of whiskey and vanilla make these cookies stand out from other sweet treats, and the sour cream ensures they are soft and tender on the inside.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt.
2.In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sour cream, whiskey or dark rum, and vanilla extract.
3.Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
4.On a floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into strips.
5.Cut a slit in the middle of each strip and fold one end through the slit, slightly twisting the dough to form a bow shape.
6.In a deep frying pan, heat the lard or shortening to 350°F.
7.Carefully add the cookies to the pan, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes total.
8.Use a slotted spoon to remove the cookies from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
9.Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve.
