I made a small batch using the following recipe.
- 1-1/4 cups sifted flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 cup powdered sugar (frosting sugar)
- 1 tablespoon soft butter
- 1/2 tablespoon brandy
- 2 eggs
- vegetable oil for frying
- powered sugar for dusting
- Sift flour, sugar and salt together.
- Cut in butter.
- Beat eggs and brandy together well.
- Add egg mixture to flour and mix well.
- Knead thoroughly.
- Divide into two portions keeping one portion covered while working on first portion.
- Roll out thin.
- Cut strips approx. 2 inches wide and 3 inches long.
- Make a slit in the middle of each strip, pulling one end through the slit.
- Continue with second portion and following the same steps.
- Fry in hot vegetable oil turning until both sides are light brown.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Dust with powdered sugar.
- Yield: 20 pishkey
I don't think I rolled the dough out thin enough but I also think I need to tweak the ingredients for these to be able to be called Kudrey. I'll try again in the future and I hope to get the paper thin flaky result I remember Kudrishkey to be.
