- 1 cup grape juice

Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, ensuring thorough incorporation.

Chill the Dough:

Roll and Cut:
- Once chilled, divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
- On a floured surface, roll out each portion thinly, aiming for a paper-thin consistency.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into 1-inch squares.
-
Fry to Golden Perfection:
- Heat your frying oil to 375Β°F (190Β°C) in a deep skillet or fryer.
- Carefully drop the dough squares into the hot oil, frying in batches as needed.
- Fry until the Celestial Crusts turn golden brown and crispy, ensuring even cooking on both sides.
-
Drain and Sweeten:
- Remove the fried crusts from the oil using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drip off.
- Place them on absorbent paper towels to drain any remaining oil.
- While still warm, sprinkle the Celestial Crusts generously with granulated sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
-
