Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, egg whites, salt, sugar, and cream until well combined. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Gradually add the flour, stirring until a stiff dough forms. The dough should be smooth and pliable. (5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the dough paper-thin. (10 minutes)

04

Step
15 mins

Using a sharp knife or pastry wheel, cut the dough into triangles. For a traditional touch, cut a small slit in the center of each triangle and twist one corner through the slit. (15 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). The oil is ready when a small piece of dough dropped in sizzles and browns quickly. (10 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Carefully drop a few cookies at a time into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. (5 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Remove the cookies with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (2 minutes)

08

Step
1 mins

While still warm, generously dust the cookies with confectioners' sugar. (1 minute)

09

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy the taste of Bohemia!

For best results, ensure the dough is rolled out as thinly as possible. This will result in the crispiest cookies.
If you don't have a deep fryer, a large, heavy-bottomed pot works just as well. Maintain a consistent oil temperature for even cooking.
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
Experiment with different shapes by using cookie cutters or simply cutting the dough into squares or diamonds.

    The twisting technique is a bit fiddly, but it adds such a beautiful touch.

    Next time, I might try adding a touch of vanilla extract to the dough for extra flavor.
