How to Make Khrustyky Ukranian Pastry

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  2. Gradually add the vegetable oil and cold water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add more water, one tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach a slightly sticky but workable consistency.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Roll out the dough thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
  5. Cut the dough into 2-3 inch wide strips.
  6. Cut each strip into small triangles (like pizza slices).
  7. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Carefully add the triangles to the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
  9. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove the khrustyky with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  11. While still warm, optionally sprinkle with sugar.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy!
