These sweet crispy Polish pastries known as faworki are made out of dough which are shaped into thin twisted ribbons that have then been deep-fried and sprinkled with powdered sugar.
A little fun fact that I learned today: The Polish word faworki "was the name reserved for colorful ribbons attached to either female or male clothing, especially such ribbons that were given to medieval knights by their ladies." Also, the word faworki ethnologically came to Poland from the French word faveur, meaning "grace" or "favour".
This mom truly loves her faworki and it was such a treat making these for her.

Hej, don't forget about another alternative name of faworki: Chrust! :D Perhaps that name doesn't tie in well with the story about the knghts and princesses, but well...;)
Yup, that is a different way of calling them in Poland. I grew up calling them faworki. However, also other countries have different names for them. Either way... I think they taste great! Don't you?
