How to make: Polish Angel wings- Chrusciki

Ever since I was younger this has been a dessert the whole family would get together to make, and I’ve made with my grandma when the seasons are too busy. She taught me how to make the Chrusciki’s and since then I’ll beg her every year to make them with me.  Although you get flour and powdered sugar all over the kitchen, and you cant eat them with out getting it all over your face, it’s the best. We are a large Polish family and this is one of my favorite Christmastime desserts (other than my aunt Jan’s Cookies). And to say it’s my favorite, says a lot considering how many desserts we have around in a Polish family that loves their food!

I am sharing this with you because it’s my personal favorite, but it’s also takes two to make it. It’s the perfect dessert to make with someone you love. From my kitchen to yours, Enjoy!
