Hello dear friends, readers and subscribers of our blog. For a long time I have not written anything to our piggy bank, I say this because our blog seems to me to be a kind of safe, one might even say a treasury where our wealth, our work, both physical and intellectual, is accumulated. And this treasury is always open for you, without any passwords and code words. Just come visit!
So, I haven’t written for a long time, the last article was more than three weeks ago. And today I want to please you with brushwood. The brushwood in my notebook appears in two versions: “ soft brushwood recipe" and "Crispy brushwood recipe".
I propose to consider the first option. Don't let the word soft scare you, it will definitely have a crispy crust. The fact is that even after lying down, if you don’t eat it right away, it doesn’t become wooden through and through, but remains a little soft inside.
Another recipe is slightly different, but not fundamentally. As I cook crispy brushwood, I will definitely record a video, take a photo and write an article for you.
By the way, now there is a great post, maybe my article will not be quite “to the court”, but not everyone observes the post (for example, I). And for those who observe, I wish with honor to endure it to the end.
Ingredients
For the test we need:
1 cup of sugar,
1 cup sour cream
50 grams of butter,
1 teaspoon of soda, without a slide,
1 teaspoon salt completely without a slide.
1 tablespoon of vodka,
Flour, how much will the dough take, so that it is soft.
Vegetable oil for frying.
Powdered sugar, sprinkle with ready-made brushwood.
Recipe for making soft brushwood
Step 1. Beat the eggs with a whisk or blender, add sugar to them and beat again.
Step 2 In the resulting egg-sugar mass, add sour cream and beat again.
Step 3 We melt the butter and send it to our dough.
Step 4 Add soda and salt.
Step 5 We pour vodka.
Step 6 We mix the pre-sifted flour into our dough.
Step 7 Mesim soft dough, we divide it into parts. From each part we will roll out a layer. Put the dough you are not working with under the cup so that the dough does not dry out on top.
Step 8 The resulting layer is cut into separate rectangles, in each rectangle we make a cut. It turns out something similar to a buttonhole. We stretch one end through the slot, as if turning it inside out. Our brushwood is ready for frying. A rectangular shape is an option, you can make triangular and round ones with notches like the sun. In any case, it will be beautiful when finished.
Step 9 In a container in which we will fry, pour vegetable oil and heat it up. The size of the saucepan or ladle depends on how much oil you don’t mind pouring later. I usually do in my smallest saucepan. Yes, it takes a little longer to fry than if you throw all the dough at once into a bucket pan, but how much oil you save! Fry brushwood on both sides until golden brown.

Let's knead the dough. To do this, combine in a bowl one egg, salt, sour cream and vodka. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Then gradually add the required amount of flour to make the dough elastic and dense. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest for a while.
Next, sprinkle the work surface with flour and, armed with a rolling pin, roll out the dough thinly and thinly. Remember that if you roll out the dough thinly enough, then the cookies will not bake and in the end will be hard and tasteless.
Cut the rolled dough into elongated rhombuses 10 centimeters in size. In the middle of each rhombus we make an incision of 5 centimeters and pass both ends of the dough into this cut. It will turn out quite a pretty squiggle)))
Pour 100-150 g of vegetable oil into a deep frying pan (if you have a miracle technique in the form of a deep fryer), put it on fire so that it starts to boil.
We lower several blanks of cookies into boiling oil so that they do not come into contact with each other. Keep in mind that the brushwood will expand in size, so don't put too many cookies in.
The cookies are browned very quickly, so we make sure that it does not burn and, deftly wielding a slotted spoon, turn it over from one side to the other, laying out ready-made cookies on paper towel to remove excess oil.
Sprinkle the brushwood on top with powdered sugar mixed with vanilla.
