Faworki

Faworki

Faworki (also known as chrust, chrusty, chruściki, angel wings)¹ are traditional Polish sweet crispy fried pastry in the shape of thin twisted ribbons, deep-fried and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Most often they are eaten in time of carnival and on Fat Thursday the last Thursday before Lent - not to be confused with Fat Tuesday or (Mardi Gras) the day before Ash Wednesday.

Etymology of the word: traditionally "faworki" was the name reserved for colourful ribbons attached to either female or male clothes, especially ribbons given by medieval knights to their ladies. The word came to Poland from Latin via French, and the French "faveur" means "grace" or "favour".

¹ - "Faworki (chrusty) is the plural form of the word faworek (chrust)."
