Khrustyky / Verhuny / Vertuty are different names of the same delicacy in different regions of Ukraine. My grandma called them twigs. They are strips of dough deep-fried and sprinkled with powdered sugar. I think it was one of the first dishes I learned to make as a teenager. Kids love making and eating them! You will need about 3 cups of vegetable oil for frying. I prefer avocado oil.
