delicious fried pastry, traditionally eaten during carnival in the Eifel region
Knead all ingredients except the frying oil thoroughly. The batter should be smooth and fluffy. Heat the frying oil in a large pot. Important: Once the oil has become hot and liquid, reduce the heat to half (e.g., on a scale of 1 to 9, set it to level 5) and wait until the temperature has stabilized at this setting! Using two teaspoons, drop small amounts of batter (about 12-15 portions) into the hot oil and wait until the balls float to the top and are golden brown. Stir occasionally to ensure the balls are evenly browned on all sides. Then remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack lined with kitchen paper. Repeat this process until all the batter is used up. Sprinkle with sugar or powdered sugar if desired. The nauzen are best enjoyed slightly warm. They will be a bit chewy the next day, but can be quickly reheated using a fan.
