Preparation:
- Prepare the yeast starter. Crumble the yeast, add the sugar, and mix well. Add 2 teaspoons of flour and a few tablespoons of warm milk. The starter should have the consistency of cream. Set it aside for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sift the remaining flour onto a pastry board, add the sugar, vanilla sugar, and cold butter. Chop the mixture until it resembles crumbs.
- Form a mound with the prepared flour mixture, place the risen starter and beaten egg yolks in the center. Gradually add the remaining milk.
- Knead the dough and form it into a ball. Leave it to rise for about an hour and a half. Then, roll out the dough and cut it into strips. Make a slit in the center of each strip and thread one end of the faworki through the opening. Cover the prepared faworki with a cloth to prevent them from drying out.
- Heat the oil in a pot. The faworki should start frying immediately when dropped into the oil.
- Fry the faworki until they are golden brown. Once done, simply sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
