Makes about 70 pastries

  1. Crack eggs into a bowl, add salt and beat.

  2. Add flour, butter, wine and schnapps and mix to form a smooth dough.

  3. Set aside dough in fridge for at least 12 hours.

  4. Roll out dough until as thin as newspaper (ideally with a dough rolling machine) and cut into strips of approx. 10x4 cm.

  5. Heat coconut oil to approx. 180 degrees and fry for about 3 to 5 minutes, repeatedly pressing pastries into oil with two wooden spoons in order to make attractive folds.

  6. Remove Chruchtele and dry on kitchen towel.
