Brushwood with cinnamon, on sour cream - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

All-purpose flour works best for this recipe, but you can experiment with gluten-free blends. Keep in mind that the texture might be slightly different, and you may need to adjust the amount of liquid.
Full-fat Greek yogurt is a good substitute for sour cream. It will provide a similar tang and moisture. If you need a dairy-free option, try using a plant-based sour cream substitute.
Brushwood is best enjoyed fresh. However, stored in an airtight container at room temperature, it should stay relatively crispy for up to 2 days. Avoid storing in the refrigerator as it will soften.
While traditionally fried, you can try baking the brushwood at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. However, the texture will be different; it will be less crispy and more cookie-like. Brush with a little oil before baking for better results.
Yes, you can freeze the dough. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before rolling out.
You can use just powdered sugar or dust the brushwood with cocoa powder. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup is also delicious. For a savory twist, try a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese immediately after frying.
Make sure the frying oil is hot enough (170°C or 340°F). If the oil isn't hot enough, the brushwood will absorb more oil. Also, don't overcrowd the pan; fry in batches. After frying, ensure you drain the brushwood well on paper towels to remove excess oil.
