Vergun, a crisp Ukrainian carnival cookie, is made by cutting thin strips of unleavened dough, twisting them through the center, and baking them instead of deep-frying. Baking gives this version fewer calories.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the Dough

15 min

Knead the flour with the egg, sugar, and cold water until a firm dough forms.

2

Let the Dough Rest

20 min

Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.

3

Cut into Strips

20 min

Roll the dough thin and cut it into long strips. Cut a slit in the center of each strip, then pull one end through the slit to twist it.

4

Bake

15 min

Bake the strips in a preheated 190°C / 375°F oven for 15 minutes, until golden. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar once cooled.

Reminder

Do not try to cut the dough into strips before it rests, or it may tear easily while twisting. Contains gluten (flour) and egg.

Pudra şekeri yerine tarçınlı şeker serptim, kurabiyelere hafif baharatlı bir tat kattı. Fırınlanmış versiyonu kızartılmışına göre gerçekten daha hafif hissettirdi, ailem hepsini afiyetle bitirdi çabucak.

Tarçınlı şeker güzel bir dokunuş olmuş, pudra şekeriyle de tarçınla da denenebilir. Fırınlanmış versiyonun hafifliği gerçekten fark ediliyor.
