And this is also a very important pleasant feeling that the process of home baking gives. So do not hesitate, and in the coming weekend, find time to please the household with brushwood early in the morning or during the day. Which recipe to choose and how to bake cookies a hundred times better than store-bought, we will be happy to tell you.

Cookies brushwood: composition and cooking secrets
As a kind of confectionery, brushwood is a crispy biscuit made from yeast-free dough, fried in a large amount of hot fat (deep-fried). But there are recipes, or rather species, because there are much more recipes themselves - there are at least two brushwood doughs. In the first case, a thick dough is used that can hold the shape of a cookie, and in the second, it is completely liquid and fluid, which takes shape directly during the frying process. But in any case, kneading the dough for brushwood will not work without flour, eggs, butter, milk and sugar, as well as liquid oil for frying. A small amount of alcohol, mineral water, various flavorings and other additives can be considered optional components, the purpose of which is to improve the taste of cookies, and to facilitate the process of its preparation. In the basic recipe for brushwood, described in the classic cookbooks of the last century, the dough is flavored with rum, cognac or vodka. Modern interpretations allow for many variations, especially thanks to the modern development of the food industry, which offers various auxiliary components for baking. And yet, real brushwood does not imply significant deviations from the traditional recipe.

It is interesting that the Greeks knew this pastry, in which similar cookies have long been part of the national cuisine. In neighboring Israel and Turkey, they feast on biscuits called teiglakh, made from brushwood dough, but served, like the vast majority of oriental sweets, with plenty of honey sauce. As for our compatriots, a similar recipe began to be widely used in Russia and Ukraine only in the 18th century, and at first the Ukrainians fell in love with cookies, which they called verguns, and then it gradually spread to the northern regions and reached St. Petersburg, acquiring a familiar name to us "Brushwood". It is not difficult to guess the origin of such a nickname - for this it is enough to look and / or try dry and brittle cookies, which really very much resemble fragile tree twigs with these features. Well, brushwood gained truly popular love and popularity in the 20th century - in Soviet times it was prepared in almost all families, mainly due to the availability of ingredients. It is difficult to surprise modern sweet tooth with the delights of the confectionery industry; they are spoiled with complex desserts and artsy decor. But, nevertheless, recent years have again revived the demand for brushwood, and the fashion for home recipes and food blogging has played a significant role here. So be it, but now we can again feast on undeservedly forgotten, but simple and tasty cookies.

However, as with all sweets, with brushwood, despite its apparent lightness and literally “weightlessness”, people who are prone to gaining excess weight need to be careful. The safety of brushwood for a figure is deceptive: its calorie content, depending on the ingredients of a particular recipe, can range from 300 to 600 kcal / 100 g, and this is comparable to the energy value of the most nutritious confectionery. You can really eat up brushwood very quickly, but even after that, the hand itself reaches for a crunchy appetizing delicacy. And with each cookie eaten, our body receives mostly fast carbohydrates (up to 50 grams out of 100), fats (25-30 grams out of 100) and quite a bit of protein (up to 10 grams out of 100). The rest is dietary fiber, salt and quite a bit of water (cookies are very dry). That is why the use of brushwood must be limited to people suffering from diabetes, other metabolic disorders and everyone who follows the figure. Children, whose energy is expended at breakneck speed, can be allowed to feast on these cookies more and more often - because all its ingredients, if they are of the right quality and freshness, are considered nutritious and healthy. For them, you can come up with different shapes of cookies, decorate them inventively and serve them with milk, compote, cocoa and juices. Thus, we came close directly to the process of preparing brushwood at home.

Cookie Recipes
There are a lot of recipes for making crispy ruddy brushwood, but each technique is invariably aimed at making the cookies as airy and thin as possible. There are two main ways to achieve this effect. The first implies that the dense and thick dough is rolled out as thinly as possible, and then dipped into the deep-fryer. The second, on the contrary, uses a very soft, almost liquid dough, which is poured into boiling oil, where liquid and fat are rejected. But both methods are powerless on their own if the products for the test are chosen or used incorrectly. Therefore, even if you have rich culinary experience and a desire to experiment at the stove, we advise you to use one of these proven recipes when you first prepare brushwood:

1. A simple recipe for brushwood. Take 3 cups of wheat flour, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of sour cream of any fat content, 2 tablespoons of cognac (can be replaced with rum), 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 pinch of salt, vegetable oil in an amount sufficient for deep frying. Beat the egg with sugar and salt, add cognac and sour cream. Intensively mixing, achieve complete uniformity of the mass. Sift the flour in parts into the egg mixture and knead a thick dough, kneading it with your hands. Turn the dough out onto a floured countertop or cutting board and roll it out as thin as possible. Cut into strips about 20 cm long and 2 cm wide. From strips of dough cut into two or three parts, braid and / or plaits as desired, but not tight. Heat a large amount of vegetable oil strongly in a deep saucepan or deep fryer, carefully, avoiding sticking, dip the dough into it and hold until the cookies become golden brown. Remove the cookies with a slotted spoon and place in a colander or paper towel to cool and remove excess oil. Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar, cocoa or otherwise decorate to your taste.
   
2. Brushwood in milk. Take 100 grams of wheat flour, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of milk and vodka, half a teaspoon of soda and salt, 100 grams of powdered sugar and refined vegetable oil for frying. Sift the flour into a deep bowl, beat the egg into it and mix thoroughly. Salt, extinguish the soda with vinegar and pour into a bowl. Add milk and vodka to the dough and knead the plastic dough. Transfer the dough to a plastic bag and refrigerate for half an hour. After this time, remove the dough and roll it out on a table or cutting board without adding more flour (use vegetable oil to prevent the dough from sticking). The layer of dough should be as thin as possible. Using special knives, molds or other devices, cut the dough into small pieces and give them any arbitrary shape that fantasy tells. Heat up oil for frying. Dip the pieces of dough into the boiling oil and remove when they turn golden. Place on a paper towel or colander, then sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
   
3. Lean brushwood on the water. Take 1 cup of highly carbonated water, half a kilo of flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar, powdered sugar and vegetable oil for deep frying. Pour water into a large bowl, sift flour into it and add sugar. Knead a thick dough and transfer it to a floured horizontal surface. Roll out the dough layer very thinly, cut into strips and weave pigtails out of them. Heat the oil for deep-frying, fry the cookies in it until golden brown and transfer to a paper towel. When the excess oil has drained and the brushwood has cooled slightly, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve. In this recipe, water can be replaced with any sweet carbonated drink - then the finished cookie will take on a shade of its taste and color. Mineral water of any composition is also suitable, the main thing is that it contains a sufficient amount of carbon dioxide: it is this that provides crunchy qualities to brushwood in the absence of an alcoholic drink in the test.
   
4. Bulk sickness. Take 2 cups of flour, 2 eggs, 1 cup of milk, half a cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cognac (you can substitute vodka or rum), vanilla, refined oil for frying and powdered sugar for decoration. Beat eggs with sugar, add milk, alcohol and flour. You can add vanillin at this stage or mix it with powdered sugar intended for decorating cookies. Knead a soft dough. Heat the oil to a high temperature in a deep fryer or deep frying pan. Place the dough in a pastry syringe or simply scoop with a spoon and pour into boiling oil in small portions. Remove when cookies are golden brown. Let excess oil drain through a colander or paper towel, garnish with powdered sugar and serve. As a rule, when using a culinary syringe, the cookies turn out to be smaller and crispier, and when using a spoon, large and slightly soft.
   
5. Brushwood on kefir. Take 3 cups of flour, 1 cup of kefir, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons of sugar or vanilla sugar, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for dough and another 1 liter for deep fat, half a teaspoon of salt and soda, powdered sugar in any amount. In a deep bowl, beat the egg with sugar (regular or vanilla) and salt, pour in 2 tablespoons of butter, kefir, put soda and mix. Gradually sift the flour into a bowl and knead the dough. Cover with a towel and leave at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Then knead the dough with your hands, roll it out thinly on a floured or lightly oiled board and cut into small pieces in the form of strips, braids and/or plaits. Heat the oil to a boil in a deep fryer or saucepan. Toast the cookies until golden brown, drain on a paper towel or colander, garnish with powdered sugar and let cool slightly before serving.
   
6. Cheese brushwood (snack for beer). Take 300 ml (large glass) of carbonated water, the same volume of flour and 1 more tablespoon of flour, 100 grams of hard cheese, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of mustard, spices to taste, vegetable oil for deep frying. Bring water to a boil along with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Remove from heat and, without waiting for cooling, add flour to the water with butter. Quickly knead the dough and leave it to cool to room temperature. In the meantime, grate the cheese on a fine grater and mix it with one egg and mustard. At this stage, you can add any spices to the filling. Divide the cooled dough into two equal parts and roll each into a thin layer. Spread the filling evenly on one and cover with a second layer. Press the top layer firmly against the bottom layer and cut them into strips together. Roll each strip into a spiral. Fry the cookies in boiling oil and serve cooled. Unsweetened brushwood can be garnished with sesame seeds and/or seeds.
   
7. Creative sickness. Take 300 grams of cottage cheese or thick curd mass, 1 cup of flour, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of salt and refined deep-frying oil. Mix all ingredients except oil and knead into a thick dough. Roll it into a layer, cut into strips or mold cookies with your hands into the desired shape. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or saucepan, fry the cookies in it and place on a colander and / or paper towel until the excess oil drains and the brushwood cools slightly. After that, cookies can be decorated to your taste and served. It will not be as dry as brushwood according to the recipes described above, but it differs from it in its curd taste and delicate structure.
