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.
@daksmom1999. Jenny was born in 1946. Do the math. I would say, following her career, that she is probably skiing in Switzerland right now. She was always ahead of her time.
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.
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!! 😢
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 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!
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 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.
I'm Polish, Italian, and Irish and I know all sides of the family had recipes for these. But I only have the Polish one. I'm pretty sure they all used the old country ways too and used alcohol in everything because my recipe for these calls for brandy. And they are really good. Are Italian cookies all call for alcohol too lol.
@@kathygolonka6944 hello, There was a tradition, to make the “chrust”, or „faworki”(different names from different part of the country), on “tłusty czwartek” (fat Thursday), Thursday before Lent! Yes, there is alcohol in this recipe! Alcohol prevents soak and keep the fat from frying... I still don’t know if it true... but was so delicious!
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 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.
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
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!
I enjoyed your tutorial video. I attended a Polish Catholic elementary school as a child. These “cookies” were a wonderful memory. They’re light and airy and habit forming. Thank you for sharing!💝
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.
WHOAH..... Did you really mean, "50" pounds ? Yum, but... wow, what an event/production that had to be. Good times I'm sure tho + the enjoying of... I mean, gotta make sure they aren't tainted or anything, right?! ;) lol Like you said, good family memories.. you're blessed/fortunate to have 'em! ~Stay safe & be well.
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!
@@donnabittner69 I wonder if we look similar? I'm only second generation American. And for some reason I've always been interested in where we come from. I wish you and yours all the very best this holiday season and in 2021! Big hugs!
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!
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.
I have a Scandinavian heritage, and a similar Christmas Cookie is called either Kleiner, or Fatigman, depending on whether you'r speaking Norwegian or Danish. We also have the roller with wavy edges, that makes diamonds with a slit in the middle. Rather than lemon and orange zest, Cardamon is the spice of note. It's interesting that these type of cookies exist in so many cultures. I like the name "Angel Wings." I've never heard that before.
I still have my family's little roller wheel...it might be an heirloom by now, lol. Lots of delicious memories, including the house smelling of fried dough for hours, just as the back of a bakery does.
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.
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!!!
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 :-)
@ola cola Well... not ALL kids sit around all day. My little nephews are constantly moving around and playing outside or in a hockey rink. They need these kinds of calories!
Great recipe. Well explained. Thank you for sharing. However, your keep touching your face then food, its quite off putting, glad I'm not eating it. Not meant as a criticism, rather it's intended to help your presentation as you show great food
@@jaylaw6970 You are being silly here, the high temp of oil will kill absolutely every bacteria. If it was a salad presentation the yes, I'd agree with you.
Oh my goodness, these cookies bring back such fond memories. My fraternal grandmother used to make a huge container of these and bring them to our house when I was a kid. Funny thing, she was 100% Hungarian but still called these cookies Chrusciki. She lived in a mixed neighborhood of Polish, Serbian, Hungarian immigrants in Detroit (way before it went downhill) in the early 1900’s. She would have been 125 if she were alive today. My moms side of the family was 100% Polish. Unfortunately, I can no longer eat these cookies due to Celiac disease. I do make cheese strudel (phyllo dough from scratch) for my brothers occasionally. Thank you Jenny for bringing a smile to my face.
My (Polish) Mom used to make these for us when we were little kids. Don't ask me why, but we would call them horses. Thank you for sharing this recipe, it put a smile on my face!
My sainted Polish mamuszka used to make these....oh my gosh.....this demonstration has brought tears of joy to my eyes! Mom made 'em, we ate 'em.....and I never learned how, so now I know and have no excuses for not giving it a try. Dziekuje!
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!
My Russian Grandma used to make them too. It was fascinating how fast the huge mountain of them was disappearing in front of your eyes.Thank you for warming up hearts with sweet childhood memories. Merry Christmas!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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"! 😍
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 :)
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
My Hungarian grandma made these each Christmas and put them in our tin of cookies. I haven't seen these in nearly thirty years. Can't wait to make them.
Jenny, I grew up in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY and because we had so many Irish, Italian and Polish immigrants we all loved different foods (angel wings) from practically birth💕. Thank you for the recipe, I will be making them for my family! Yummy!!!
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!!!
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 !!😅
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.
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!
Fattigman! :-) We make these every year. My dad's side of the family was from Norway. We also have the roller with wavy edges, that makes diamonds with a slit in the middle. Rather than lemon and orange zest, Cardamon is the spice of note. It's interesting that these type of cookies exist in so many cultures. I like the name "Angel Wings." I've never heard that before. takk for maten :-)
Joan, what a,wonderful way to celebrate the seasons...so many of us from different parts of the world sharing a common recipe that we thought was "ours". God bless America for the freedom to peacefully celebrate our differences in harmony.🎄🎄💚🎄🎄
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
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.
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
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.
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!
I am of polish origin. My mother made cabbage rolls, perogi and bow ties and i have missed them for 30yrs. But now have served them to my grown kids and they love them. My mother use to make sweet perogi. Filling was cottage cheese in one lot and 2 cherries in others and served with runny cream sprinkled with sugar.
I am 69 and of 100% polish decent. I have fond memories of my Babcia and Cioci making Crusciki. Would never have thought trying it myself but picked up a deep fryer at Aldis for fifteen bucks. My family gave it four stars on my fist attempt thank you so much !

her life, with NO STRINGS ATTACHED. 👍 ♥️ 😃
She just wanted that TH-cam money and scram. And that is really what it seems she did.

This is probably my favorite desert, next to cannoli'. love them. italians call them bow ties.
I love this lady and miss her so much. Still watching her videos!
Yes, we make a very similar cookie as Norwegians for Christmas- such a lovely video - TY! ❤️
Fattigman! :-) We make these every year. My dad's side of the family was from Norway. We also have the roller with wavy edges, that makes diamonds with a slit in the middle. Rather than lemon and orange zest, Cardamon is the spice of note. It's interesting that these type of cookies exist in so many cultures. I like the name "Angel Wings." I've never heard that before. takk for maten :-)
My mother used to make these! My grandparents came from Lithuania so thanks for bringing back good memories!😊
Joan, what a,wonderful way to celebrate the seasons...so many of us from different parts of the world sharing a common recipe that we thought was "ours". God bless America for the freedom to peacefully celebrate our differences in harmony.🎄🎄💚🎄🎄
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
So thankful for this. What a wonderful childhood memory.
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.
I use to help my Aunt Sarah make those. I was 4. She let me powder sugar them.
I'm so glad that I can make them for my family. Thank you
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

Thanks Jenny for bringing back old memories of cooking with my grandma and mother.
This recipe has become my go to. This will be the second year I will use it. Easy and delicious. Thank you again 🥰
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.
We call them crostoli in my family. My mum made them last Christmas 😊
That’s what we call them too,,in Italian,,
My grandmother was German and she made them thin but looked like leaves. So, so good. Thanks Jenny
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!
I am of polish origin. My mother made cabbage rolls, perogi and bow ties and i have missed them for 30yrs. But now have served them to my grown kids and they love them. My mother use to make sweet perogi. Filling was cottage cheese in one lot and 2 cherries in others and served with runny cream sprinkled with sugar.
Thank you for the video! You are fun and relaxing to watch.
I am 69 and of 100% polish decent. I have fond memories of my Babcia and Cioci making Crusciki. Would never have thought trying it myself but picked up a deep fryer at Aldis for fifteen bucks. My family gave it four stars on my fist attempt thank you so much !
