Christmas Angel Wings - Polish Chrusciki - Christmas Bow Ties Recipe 

It’s a shame Jenny stopped doing these videos. They really showed her love of cooking, and her knowledge of cooking. She would crack me up with her comments in some of her videos. Don’t know why she gave up doing the videos, but it would be nice to see her do them again.

My Polish grandmother would make these absolutely delicious cookies every time we visited her. I have such fond memories of her and these cookies!

My mother and grandmother were both from Lithuania. My mom used to make these probably once a year. We would eat them as fast as she would make them. They were incredibly delicious. Mom and dad and older brother have all been gone for 28 years… I miss them all and I love them and I think of them every day. Excellent parents, excellent big brother. 😊😊😊❤❤❤ I have a sister who is 75… She is my best friend! 😊❤

I lost my Polish Mom last month. I remember going to visit relatives in Brooklyn when I was a kid, and we always came back with a box of of that Great Stuff! Never forget you Mom!! 😢

I love how Jenny gets excited about her food.

Nothing wrong with deep-fried, now and than, YUM... thanks for showing us how to make these!

Absolutely terrific- I’m Polish & my Mom never taught me cause my Aunt always made them every year,,I’m so happy you gave me this recipe..

I am Hungarian and my mother also made these for Christmas. Watching you made my mouth water. I will be making these for my grandchildren this Christmas. Thank you for sharing.

Jenny is so charming, people cannot stop adoring her! She is a star 🌟 in anything she does! Love her recipes! 🌸🌼🌺

I found you today. It's never too late to learn a recipe that was from the old days and bring it back into the future and share what our relatives used to make in their times! Thank you!

I very much like appreciate how clean her kitchen is. Makes me confident that her food is good. A clean kitchen makes for safe food.

My mother had this recipe! Gosh I haven't thought of them in years. And she was 100% Italian.

My great-grandmother used to make these for Christmas. Thank you Jenny for sharing this easy recipe. I plan on making these and surprising my family this Christmas.

I absolutely love her sense of humor, go away you never saw me.😂

My Father was from Lithuania and at Christmas time we used to make fifty pounds of these for presents and the freezer. It was a who day affair. What good memories. Thank you so much for the video.

My Croatian mom made them and we called them Crostuli. Delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

Thank you so much!!! My Italian grandmom used to make these and I have been looking for the recipe for a long time! She would yell all the time when they were traveling to someone's house "Don't break the bows!" LOL we would have to gingerly carry them like china! Good memories!

This cookie has been in our family for years and years from my grandmothers recipe. The ingredients are the same as is the frying, the only difference is we drizzle honey over them then sprinkle with the powdered sugar and what a fantastic taste!

Gosh i miss my grandmother and all the traditions and family gathers that no longer happen since her passing. Not to mention the chrusciki and perogies that were at every holiday meal. Thank you for sharing and bring back lot of memories. RIP Grandmom i miss you!! 😢😢

Jenny, for starters, I love your recipes :-) However, I don't know why people call chruściki "not healthy", when in fact chruściki are VERY healthy and exactly what our bodies need in the middle of a brutally cold winter. I grew up in the northern-eastern Poland, near the Lithuanian border, the winters can be quite punishing there. Chruściki is exactly the winter food we needed. My Mother used only sweet heavy cream in them, several eggs, and - guess what - fried them in the pork fat. The same goes for pączki. The unforgettable aroma and, never mind, the calories we needed to survive the winter :-) Chruściki and pączki is a winter food :-) Smacznego :-)

My Slovak grandma and I used to make them. We used a metal wavy pinwheel to cut them so the design was pretty. That was my job. Mmmmm

Thank you so much. My in-laws were Italian and called them Wondies. My mother in law was wonderful to me. We loved each other.

Jenny you can cook! Not only am I trying your recipies but I am now strangely drawn to brightly coloured spoons and boards and aprons. Thanks for being so much fun.

Here again in 2020. I love Jenny! Merry Christmas and a Happy, pandemic free New Year! xoxo

I'm of Lithuanian heritage My mom and her sisters made these cookies. They called them "ausukies." So delicious!

In Denmark it is called "klejner" (Klejner is one of the oldest Danish Christmas cookies and has been known since the Middle Ages) I just did a tons for the family - very tasty :)

OMG this is amazing! I've been searching for a recipe like this for a LONG time. Unfortunately, my babcia took her chrusciki recipe with her when she passed. My whole family has been searching for an authentic one. I'm excited to try this! And excited that I found this awesome and enthusiastic cooking channel. Thank you!!!

I found this video years ago and use it every year to make these for thanksgiving. I’ve written down the recipe but I always feel better watching her lol. They are AMAZING!

MY GRANDMA USED TO MAKE THESE FOR ME. SHE WAS FROM YUGOSLAVIA. THEY ARE MY FAVORITE COOKIES ! OK, I'M COMING OVER !! I'LL EAT THOSE AND WATCH YOU MAKE MORE !!😅

You are so fun! I feel like I'm there with you watching! You do explain everything very well for all of your recipes...I love what I'm learning! Thank you Jenny

I absolutely love love love these, my mom still makes these for xmas, i use to be the bow tie maker lol,,,after watching you eat those, omg i may have to try a batch. Merry Christmas Jenny ! from this polish girl in Sask Canada xo

My mother makes these every Christmas. I just love them. We went to a Polish festival at the Pope John Paul Center and there was a bakery table set up selling little boxes of these and I bought four boxes. Two of the boxes were empty before we even got home!

Oh, my goodness…crullahs! That was our name for chrusciki. A lovely Lithuanian lady down the street made them and my mom bought them by the box load. We had a family of seven…so they never lasted very long! Thanks for this lovely recipe memory, Jennie!

This is probably my favorite desert, next to cannoli'. love them. italians call them bow ties.

Finally, a well organized cooking host who can keep her thoughts coming out in words that follow the minimal basic method. She is outstanding.

When I used to help my grandmother make these, we did no smaller amount than an old apple picking basket ( or a laundry basket lined with a white sheet, that's how we covered and stored them). they never lasted long enough to go stale or soft..this was a whole day project....and if made right they do melt in your mouth

Thank you for demonstrating how to fold the chruschiki! My Grandmom’s friend Rita used to make them and I’ve missed them.

Wow, Hi, Jenny Jones! It's so nice to see you! I didn't know you had a channel, nor did I know you were of Polish ancestry! I was just looking for some interesting Polish recipes for the holidays and I ran across your cooking videos, and I'm so happy I did! I look forward to making these and sharing them with my sibs at our Christmas Eve celebration - they are all going to want to know where I found the recipe since it's not one that's come down from my dad's family. Thanks much for sharing your heritage, It's been ages since I've seen you (although, somehow I managed to get several decades older while you did not) and I look forward to watching your other videos, too. Cheers!

Love your banter including the recipes.

Angel Wings!!! That's what we used to call them. So glad I came across your tutorial! Thank you, Jenny!

So happy to find your channel. Thank you for sharing your joy, passion, and talents yesterday, today, tomorrow, and always.

Love, Love, Love this recipe. Cant wait to make these for my stepsons who miss their late Mom's polish cooking and baking.

Neat! My grandma made these every Christmas (she passed away in 2007). She called them a "what's it." They are SO delicately delicious. Thank you for sharing. Now I can carry on the tradition!

So good! I can remember my mother taking a whole day to make these-she added a bit of brandy. We ended up with a sheet (and sugar) lined bushel basket!

These are called chiacchiere (chatterbox) in Italian because of the noise they made when you bit into one. Mom’s recipe was eggs, flour, and a little sweet wine. We rolled them on the pasta machine, then cut the strips with the little zig zag wheel we used to cut out ravioli. She put the powdered sugar on right before serving.

My mother made those when I was a squirt of 4 years old. Love the little things! And by the way - eating ALL of them is NOT wrong. I know of what I speak and so did my mother. Bless her heart.

Jenny, you make me smile! I haven't had these since my Grandma Lemanski made them long ago. Thank you so much.

My Polish Babçia would make these for Christmas. Thank you for the lovely memories!

i love your cooking style it looks so simple but delicious

Stolat! Many thanks for the loving way you presented this Polish treat. My parents both were Polish and mom made these on special Holidays. You put a happy memory tear in my eyes! Thank you😇 From Sally Kocot Baldelli

I love watching you make things. I've printed off a bunch! Thank you!

I am part Lithuanian and Czechoslovakian and these are the desserts that my grandmothers and great-grandmother's made! You are such a dear heart and I hope this message finds you well! Blessings to all who read this!

Those are the cookies my Croatian neighbor made when I was a kid. She invited me to help her one year cuz I loved them. Still do. Good memories

For something that is so easy to make and with basic ingredients ... these are so AMAZING and FLAVOURFUL!!! Thank you Jennie for this recipe. Everyone of my family and friends, who have tried them, loved them sooooooo much!!!

There is nothing better than childhood memories when baking for Christmas! Love this recipe and thank you ~~~ wherever you are, your cheerful presentations will always live on here.

Thank you for the video! You are fun and relaxing to watch.

Merry Christmas. I came across your videos, looking for pierogi ideas, and OMG when I saw these, my 68 year old self went back to when I used to help my mother make theses. She called them Crullers (SP). They were so fun to make and amazingly good. You just brought back so many recipes of my dear mum.

Your lessons are so good. Thank You, Many Blessings

Thank you for sharing! My favorite!

Your excitement and joy making these is such a tonic in these troubled times.

Yes, we make a very similar cookie as Norwegians for Christmas- such a lovely video - TY! ❤️

First, thanks for the sweet memories!! Secondly, My family is from the south, so we had never heard of chrusciki until our Polish landlady asked my sister and I if wanted to help her bake (we were around 8 and 10) for a wedding. Imagine our surprise and delight at these wonderful "angel wings"! 😍

I just made these for the first time ever, they came out perfect! Thank you Jenny!

Been looking for this recipe for 55 years! My mother in law used to make them for my husband, but she was deceased when we married and I couldn't find a recipe. I'm Czech nationality and we had something similiar but not like this. Can't wait to make them.

Best cooking show I've seen in a long time Quick and simple

Moja mama robiła chruściki trochę inaczej, ale Twoje Chruściki też były bardzo smaczne. Dziękuję za przepis.

My mother made these for the holidays - thank you - brought back memories - going to make them this Xmas.

You are so fun, happy, and colorful to watch! What a happy kitchen you have!

Thank you for the recipe. My Hungarian mother made these but I could never find the recipe. Love these and they are a great memory from my childhood. Also Jenny, off the subject, I just love your sense of humor. You are a pleasure to watch and your recipes are wonderful...but best of all is your dry humor. Love it. Keep it up. You bring happiness.

Dear Jenny, Thank you! Blessings Abound.

Thanks so much for all of your recipes,and all of the fun in making them.

Thank you, Jenny! My Polish neighbor gave me this recipe back in the 80s. I've been looking for it ever since. My kids will have a BIG Christmas surprise!

Found your channel doing research on Polish food as I am visiting Warsaw next week. What a huge pleasant surprise. Loved you in the '90s and never knew you were such an accomplished cook but the real surprise is that you apparently discovered the fountain of youth. I'm a gentleman so I won't mention your age, but my goodness Jenny, you still look fantastic.

Stumbled on to your channel today. Can't to try your recipes. My grandma & great grandma passed (Sophie & Josephine Jozwiak), they made all these wonderful Polish recipes! I can't wait to try them.

Loved, loved, loved watching. I am so going to try these.

So thankful for this. What a wonderful childhood memory.

Haven't had these since I was 11 and our Polish neighbor lady would make them at Christmas. I would horde as many as I could until my Mom busted me😄 Mrs.LeClair would always give me a box the next day once she realized I had bow-tie issues!

Hey Jennie! I hope this finds you well and thriving! Have a wonderful Christmas and take care!

THANKS FOR EXPLAINING AS YOU GO ALONG FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO CAN NOT COOK THANK YOU SO MUCH

This video reminds me of my Polish grandmother and me in her kitchen making this incredible cookie! Thanks for the memories!

Jenny, you never cease to amaze and delight me with your delicious recipes and super personality. Love how explicit you explain every step in the preparation. Never tire of watching you. Warmest regards, Dolores

Merry, merry Christmas, Jenny! So many people want you to come back & Do just a few more Christmasee 🎄 🎁 cookies. ♥️

They came out just beautifully!

My mother used to make these! My grandparents came from Lithuania so thanks for bringing back good memories!😊

Sometimes I would rather have these than brownies . I love the citric taste and there are not too many flavors. Plus...they are sooo crispie ! For real sweet tooths I mix a little cream cheese, sour cream, a dash of rum and powdered sugar together (thick) and put a spoonful on their dessert plate. They can dip their goodies in it. Thank you for sharing!

Geez Jenny, you flash picked up that second cookie before you finished chewing the first one. You're hardcore! You made me remember the moment I grew just tall enough to look over my grandmother's kitchen table during the holidays and could watch all the action there. When Jenny began to powder her cookies I said, "those will melt in your mouth now." And then Jenny said it, too. You don't forget those fresh cookies. If you don't know Eastern European baking recipes, learn them. Why do you think Napoleon marched to Moscow? It wasn't for oil. They didn't have any then. It was these things! I really haven't been around anyone making these fresh since gram's gone. But Jenny, you've inspired me (many times). I'll make some of my own this year "fresh"...and bring back my grandmother into the kitchen to say, "hi grandma, I'm old enough to have coffee with these things now." :)

This recipe was made by my Polish Grandmother every Eastertime for my father's Birthday. I have been looking for it for years! Thank you Jennie i love your cooking show, simple & delicious..& your sense of humor is great.

They look delicious, thank you!!

Hi Janny!!! Love to watch your videos!!, I 'm Brazilian and I also make those too we call [cavaquinhos] they are really good!, thank you for sharing !!! Like you green stuff too!!!!

Love these....being of Ukrainian background my Mom and Aunt made these quite often for any occasion... Thanks for sharing your recipe. Now if I need some and I'm passing through Roncesvalles in Toronto I can stop in any Polish Bakery and pick some up.

Scrumptious! I love your kitchen and retro looking tools... Makes me feel like Home 💞

You are a treasure Jenny! I love your colorful kitchen!

I'm Bohemian and Czech and can't wait to make these for Christmas this year. It looks so fun!

Hi Jenny. My mom makes these. We are Italian. She also adds powdered sugar. Some of her friends drizzle honey over them. Ps used to watch your talk show religiously. Love your sense of humour and of course your recipes!! We call them fritelle.
