Faworki are crispy, fried pastry ribbons made from a delicate egg yolk and flour dough, rolled thin, twisted into shapes, and deep-fried until golden, then generously dusted with powdered sugar. Known as Chruściki in some regions, they are especially popular during Carnival season, particularly on Fat Thursday (Tłusty Czwartek) across Poland, especially in Mazovia. Their name “faworki” comes from the French “faveur,” meaning ribbon. These light, airy sweets have roots in Polish nobility and are a festive treat shared before Lent.

Common variations include versions flavored with a splash of spirits (like rum or vodka) to make them even flakier.
