One of the most associated with the carnival dishes are faworki. Virtually every hostess has its own recipe and secret ingredients. The recipe for faworki is very simple and its secret is flour. Faworki cake is primarily flour and yolks. Some also add spirit or vinegar, thanks to which the dough is to be more fragile and does not absorb fat when frying. . You can also add cream to the recipe to add cream fawors. Faworki in Polish tradition have been for many years. According to legend, they arose as a result of a mistake of a young confectioner who, by inadvertently dropped the donut dough strip into the hot oil. For many years, the recipe for faworki was similar to donuts, but in time it was modified so that the brushwood was lighter and more fragile.
Through this mistake, your favorites do not leave. Do it and your faworki will be like my grandmother
Attitude. It is she who largely determines the taste and fragility of the dough. Baking masters indicate that flour should be used in lower types. As a rule, the higher the type of poppies, the more compact and thick it is. Wheat flour, 450 cake flour should be added to the dough. Another, very common, mistake is the wrong frying temperature. Our grandmothers were fried in lard. This type of fat made the dough soft and fragile. For many people, however, the taste of lard was noticeable and today chefs are successfully frying with oils. Sunflower oil is most often recommended, which has a high combustion temperature. However, it is very important that the frying fat is properly heated. The optimal temperature for frying brushwood is about 170-180 degrees Celsius. At home, it is best to check the oil temperature, looking at whether tiny bubbles are formed on its surface. If the temperature is too low, the faworki will only bathe in fat and come out fat and rubber. In turn, too high the temperature will cause them to burn from the outside, and in the middle they will be fried.
