Khvorost (also known as "verguny," "urama," "sochen," or "krebli") is an easy-to-make homemade dish popular in many countries around the world. Khvorost is fluffy—not crunchy! The soft dough, fried in oil, tastes more like doughnuts.

If you want to make a classic crispy хворост, choose the dough preparation option:

on vodka;
on beer.

Housewives around the world prepare this fluffy, sweet khvorost in their own ways. There are recipes for the dough using yeast starter or fresh yeast, as well as yeast-free ones, with the addition of baking soda or baking powder.

You can prepare quick and tasty yeast-free хворост using various ingredients:

sour milk (yogurt);
kefir of any fat content;
sour cream;
neutral yogurt;
with milk (with baking powder).

In this case, the fermented milk product acts as a soda quencher and initiates the process of saturating the mass with carbon dioxide bubbles, which create the characteristic porous structure.

Preparing soft and fluffy хворост (brushwood) with sour milk is very easy, so even a novice cook is guaranteed to succeed with this delicacy.

Brushwood with sour milk – a simple step-by-step recipe

Ingredients

Servings

Sour milk

150 G
Sugar

3 tbsp
Flour

2.5 glass
Egg C1

1 pcs
Salt

1 pinch
Soda

0.5 tsp
Vegetable oil

200 ml
Powdered sugar

50 G

Preparation

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, mix 1 egg (white and yolk) and 3 tablespoons of sugar with a fork.

Step 2

Add 150 ml of sour milk (yogurt) to the egg mixture and mix until smooth.

Step 3

Add a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of refined vegetable oil.

Step 4

Mix 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda with a small amount of flour and pour into the liquid mixture, stirring until smooth.

The soda will immediately react with the fermented milk product and bubbles will begin to form.

Step 5

Add the remaining amount of flour and knead into a soft dough.

Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

Step 6

Knead the dough again and divide it into portions. Roll each portion out into a 5 mm thick crust and cut into pieces to form the crabs.

Step 7

To form the хворост, cut the dough into 10x10 cm squares. Make a slit in the center and turn one corner through it. You'll get beautiful хворост (knobs), like the ones in the photo.

Step 8

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or saucepan (there should be enough oil so that the brushwood floats in it).

Fry each krabl on both sides until golden brown.

Step 9

It is better to first place the finished brushwood on a paper towel to remove excess fat.

Step 10

Sprinkle the finished dish with powdered sugar.

Fluffy brushwood prepared with sour milk can be eaten not only with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, but also with natural honey or your favorite jam.

The only downside to this dish is its high calorie and fat content. If you don't like deep-fried dough or want to reduce the calorie content of khvorost, try frying it in an air fryer with minimal oil or baking it in the oven. The result will be different from the traditional version, but it will be no less delicious.
