Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 500 g flour
  • 20 g yeast
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp, levelled sugar
  • 400 ml milk, lukewarm
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • n. B. Oil (sunflower oil or rapeseed oil)
  • powdered sugar
  • jam
  • maple syrup

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

In a large bowl, crumble the yeast into lukewarm milk, sugar, and two tablespoons of flour. Mix lightly and let rise slightly. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. Add the flour to the yeast, followed by the eggs, and knead with a dough hook or by hand until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for half an hour. Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan (but not too hot!) and fry 1-2 tablespoon-sized portions of the dough until golden brown on both sides (you can fry up to four in one pan at a time). Poles like to eat racuchy (pronounced ratzuchy) with powdered sugar, homemade jam, or plum jam (powidla). Variations with applesauce and/or maple syrup are also possible.
