"Khvorost" is a thin cookie cooked in deep fat. It got its unusual name for its similarity in shape and fragility to fallen branches. The dessert gained particular popularity during the Soviet Union. The reason for this was the ease of preparation and availability of ingredients. In times of shortages, it was prepared everywhere. Now, due to the wide variety of confectionery products, "Khvorost" is not so popular, and in vain. After all, it is quick and easy to prepare, and its taste is wonderful.

Step 1

Prepare the dough: in a bowl, mix eggs, flour, vodka and salt. If the dough is not thick enough, add more flour.

Step 2

Sprinkle the table with flour and roll out the dough. Cut the dough into rectangles measuring 3x10 cm. Make a cut inside the rectangle. Turn the rectangle out through the cut in the center to get a piece like in the picture.

Step 3

Pour oil into the frying pan, heat it well and place the blanks. Fry the brushwood on medium heat until golden brown, turning it over.

Step 4

Remove the finished хворост with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
