Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 cup grape juice
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions:

1. 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.
   • Stir in the cream, grape juice, and lemon zest until well combined.

2. Incorporate the Flour:

   • Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth dough forms.

3. Chill the Dough:

   • Wrap the dough in wax paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

4. 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.

5. Fry to Golden Perfection:

   • Heat your frying oil to 375°F (190°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.

6. 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.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • BOZI MILOSTI can be served either hot or cold, making them a versatile treat for any occasion.
   • Arrange them on a platter and watch as they disappear before your eyes, leaving behind smiles of satisfaction!
