Khvorost are thinly rolled, cut pastries from Russian cooking. This version cooks them in an air fryer instead of deep-frying them in the traditional way. Light, crisp and dusted with confectioners' sugar, they make an ideal late-night sweet snack.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the dough

10 min

Whisk the egg, sugar, salt and strained yogurt together. Gradually add the flour to make a firm but pliable dough.

2

Rest the dough

15 min

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and rest for 15 minutes.

3

Roll thinly and cut

15 min

Roll the dough out to 2 millimeters thick and cut into strips. Make a slit in the center of each strip and pull one end through it to shape.

4

Cook in the air fryer

10 min

Arrange in a greased basket and cook in an air fryer set to 180°C / 355°F for 10 minutes, until golden. If you do not have an air fryer, bake in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F for 10–12 minutes.

5

Dust with sugar

3 min

Sift confectioners' sugar over the lukewarm strips and serve.

Reminder

Roll the dough as thinly as possible. Thick strips turn hard in the air fryer, while thin strips stay crisp. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), egg, and milk and dairy products.

Şeritleri tam 2 milimetreye açmayı başaramadım, 3 milimetre civarında kaldı ama yine de 10 dakikada güzelce çıtırlaştı; airfryer sepetini iyice yağlamak yapışmayı tamamen engelledi, ikinci denemede bu sorunu tamamen çözdüm.

Süzme yoğurt yerine ekşi krema kullansam kıvamı aynı kalır mı, yoksa hamur daha mı gevşek olur? Şeritleri 2 milimetreye açmak biraz zor geldi, daha kalın kesince de çıtır olur mu merak ediyorum.
