Klejniki

Klejniki (plural form) are a type of Polish pastry, similar to angel wings or chruściki. They are made from thin dough that is deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. After frying, they are typically sprinkled with powdered sugar. The dough is often flavored with vanilla, rum, or other extracts. The name "klejniki" is derived from "klejnot," meaning jewel or gem, referring to the delicate and ornate appearance of the finished pastry. They are a popular treat, particularly during holidays such as Fat Thursday (Tłusty Czwartek) and Carnival season.
