Polish Angel Wings-Chrusciki, also known as Chruściki or faworki, are a traditional Polish dessert that translates to 'angel wings' in reference to their delicate, crispy shape. These light and airy pastries are made from simple ingredients including cream, egg yolks, flour, salt, sugar, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Typically served around holidays or special occasions, they are a popular treat that can be enjoyed all year round.
