Verguny (Ukrainian fried dough twists) with milk

An everyday Ukrainian pastry — tasty and crispy! Sweet, delicious, tempting verguny are essentially the classic fried "brushwood" cookies everyone knows. This dessert is a huge favorite in our family with grown-ups and little ones alike! I'm sharing my grandmother's recipe — I hope you enjoy it.

  • To get a light dough for these pastries, be sure to sift the flour — it aerates the flour, which makes the dough fluffier. Add the baking powder and salt to the sifted flour. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and milk. Pour the milk-egg mixture into the flour and mix well. Knead the dough until it's smooth and even. Roll the dough out to about ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thick and cut it into strips. You can shape them however you like, but true verguny are strips with a slit in the middle, through which you pull one end to make a twist. Pour oil into a preheated skillet and fry the verguny on each side until golden. Dust the finished pastries with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
