Angel wings are a traditional sweet crisp pastry made out of dough that has been shaped into thin twisted ribbons, deep-fried, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. They are traditionally eaten on Fat Thursday in Poland, ahead of Lent.[1]
In the United States, Polish-American bakeries in many cities, including Buffalo, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee, make angel wings.[2]: 96
