The Yiddish word hazen mean “hot” and blozen means “bloom”. My Savtah Adina would store them in tins that my dad still keeps. She’d stash the tins in a closet near the laundry room, and we’d hang out by the closet, sneaking treats while the adults gathered in the dining room. Hazenbluzen Recipe (this recipe will be in my cookbook EAT JEWISH): 1 12-oz package square wonton wrappers 4 cups vegetable oil, 6 qt, fill half way 2 cups confectioners sugar In a large pot, add the oil and bring to 350f over medium heat, using a candy thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature. While the oil is heating, place a large baking sheet near the pot lined with paper towels. Slice the wonton wrappers into ½ inch slices and separate them by shaking out the stack of wrappers. When the oil is ready, carefully add small handfuls of the wrapper into the oil and separate them using a large stainless spoon or spider strainer. Cook for around 2-3 minutes, until the wrappers are golden brown. Remove the fried wrappers from the oil and place on the paper towels. Immediately, sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar. Continue this process. When cool, put in a large bowl and add more powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container for 1 week. Don’t put them in a container until completely cool.
