Kruschicki is a traditional Polish pastry served for many holidays such as Christmas and Easter, and is also enjoyed year-round. Krucshicki, also known as Bow Ties, Angel Wings or Thin Twists are a type of fried pastry. They are thin and lightly sweetened, and perfect for snacking with a cup of coffee or tea. Their unique, delicate shape is achieved by cutting small strips of dough and tying a knot in the middle. These crispy and airy pastries are a symbol of love and goodwill, as they bring joy to people when they share them with their family and friends.
