How To Make a Polish Christmas Cookie- Chrust
Things You Will Need
4 eggs
1 egg white
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp rum
1 cup flour
Optional: cook in lard (best) or oil
Step 1
Start by adding salt to the eggs and hand whisk for 10 minutesStep 2
Next, add sugar, the flavoring, and whisk all until well blended
Step 3
Now fold in the flour
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a well-floured board and knead until the dough blistersStep 5
When finished kneading, cut the dough into two halvesStep 6
Roll out one (1) of the haves using a rolling pin into a very thin layer & cut into strips about four (4) inches long and one (1) inch wide.Step 7
Slit each piece in center (Slit is parallel to the long edge) and pull one end through the slit (it will look almost like a bow tie), and set aside on plate lined with wax paperStep 8
Fry two (2) or three (3) at a time in hot fat (Lard*) until lightly browned. They cook so fast you do not want to burn them. Each stove is different- 15 seconds, 30 seconds, or 45 seconds on each side. I repeat, watch them closely so they won't burn. If they look dark brown, you just burned them.Step 9
Drain each cookie on an absorbent paper towel and sprinkle or shake them in a zip lock bag with powered 10x sugar.Array

Fantastic recipe. I do lots of holiday cooking and will be using this!
However, I agree with goodselfme, this is a recipe for anytime!
Yummo...Great recipe for Polish cookies. I agree cookies are better using lard, or even bacon fat.
These cookies are delicious. I took this same recipe and made something for my grandma, and she loved it. Then I started my application to hubpages to learn and write on here. Simply amazing experience. Thank You Buzzard. You are greatly appreciated.
