Preparation
Makes about 70 pastries
Crack eggs into a bowl, add salt and beat.
Add flour, butter, wine and schnapps and mix to form a smooth dough.
Set aside dough in fridge for at least 12 hours.
Roll out dough until as thin as newspaper (ideally with a dough rolling machine) and cut into strips of approx. 10x4 cm.
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.
Remove Chruchtele and dry on kitchen towel.
Dust with icing sugar.
