Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 500 g flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 70 g butter
  • 60 g sugar
  • 40 g yeast
  • 250 ml milk or cream
  • some lemon(s), the grated peel
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp flavoring (arrack)
  • Fat, for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 2 hours

Make a yeast dough from the listed ingredients and let it rise in a covered bowl in a warm place until it has visibly increased in size. Then, by hand, form round dumplings, approximately 50g in weight. Brush them with melted butter and let them rise again under a cloth. Preheat the deep fryer to approximately 175°C. Now pull each ball apart with your fingers so that a wider edge is visible on the outside and a thin skin on the inside. Carefully slide the ball into the hot oil. When the underside is browned, carefully turn it over. This requires some dexterity, making sure that the thin skin does not get any fat. Leave it in the oil until it is browned to the desired degree, then remove it. Sprinkle the finished pancakes with powdered sugar.
