Brushwood - a classic recipe
The classic recipe for brushwood with vodka allows you to prepare a crispy sweet dessert for tea.
You can prepare soft, light, airy brushwood according to the following recipe:
- eggs - 2 units;
- vodka - 2 tables. l .;
- sugar - 2 tables. l .;
- flour - 250 gr;
- salt - a few pinches;
- oil post. for frying;
- sugar powder for giving.
In a bowl, beat eggs thoroughly with sugar, vodka, and salt. When the mass turns slightly white, sift the flour into it. Knead with a spoon, then on the work surface. The dough should stop sticking to your hands, after which we continue to knead a little - just a few minutes. Then we put a ball of dough in a bag and send a little rest, in the refrigerator. After about half an hour, we take out the dough, lightly roll it in flour, cut it into several pieces and roll each into a very thin layer - so that it appears through. We cut in long strips 4-5 cm wide. Then we cut the strips 2-3 parts across, in these “scraps” we make longitudinal cuts into which we pass one end.
Spread the resulting twigs in hot oil and fry. As soon as the dough enters the oil, it begins to increase in volume and bubble. For brushwood to brown on one side, half a minute is enough. Then turn to the second side.
We put the finished brushwood in a large bowl and sprinkle with powder.
On a note. In this recipe, it is vodka that gives brushwood the ability to bubble and crunch.
Step-by-step recipe without vodka
- flour - 2 cups .;
- eggs - 3 units;
- milk - 3 tables. l .;
- sugar. powder - 3 table. l .;
- salt - ½ teal .;
- oil post. - 300 ml.
Beat the milk and egg mass until a foam begins to form. Next, sift flour and salt into it, mix with a spoon, then knead the dough by hand. The result is an elastic ball of dough.
The next step is the same as in the previous recipe - roll out the dough into thin layers, form brushwood and fry in boiling oil. Sprinkle the finished dessert with powder.
On a note. To avoid brushwood being too “greasy”, after frying, lay it on paper towels - excess oil will be absorbed into the paper.
Thin brush on milk dough
Delicate and crisp brushwood is obtained on a test with milk.
To prepare milk brushwood you will need:
- flour - 450 g;
- sugar - a quarter glass .;
- milk - half a glass .;
- eggs - 4 units;
- vodka - 1 table. l .;
- oil post. - 1 stack .;
- salt - half a teaspoon. l
Leave all food in advance at room temperature so that it warms up a little.
Then in one bowl we combine vodka with sugar, cream, salt and eggs, whisk for a couple of minutes with a whisk.
Take a bowl a little more and sift the flour into it. Pour the liquid mass into it with a trickle, constantly stirring with a spoon. When the mass is well thickened, knead the dough by hand. Roll out a layer about 3 mm thick if you like thin cookies. If you want a little thicker - 5-6 mm.
The further action is similar to other recipes - we cut cookies and fry in hot oil.

Sour cream dough is elastic, slightly dense. The brushwood is fragrant and tasty.

- 200 grams of vegetable oil.
Lightly freeze the oil in the freezer, it is enough to withstand a quarter of an hour. Sift through the flour. Three butter in flour and mix.
Separately, beat the sugar-egg mass so that it brightens and foams well. We combine both masses together and add sour cream with vinegar. Mix everything well with a spoon, then with your hands. The finished dough will become firm and elastic. We collect the dough in a ball and put in a bowl, cover with a towel, send it to stand in the refrigerator for a quarter of an hour.
After 15 minutes, we roll out the dough and do with it the same as in the previous versions of cooking brushwood - we cut and fry in boiling oil.
We mix the powder with vanilla and sprinkle the finished brushwood with the sweet mixture before serving for tea.
