a must at Kirchweih – first a goose and then a noodle
Put the flour in a bowl. Make a well in the center and mix a little of the lukewarm milk, yeast, and some of the sugar into a pre-dough. Let it rise a little, then add the remaining ingredients and knead into a smooth dough. Let it rise a little more. Roll out the dough on a baking board (0.5–1 cm thick), cut out circles about 8 cm in diameter with a glass, and let it rise again. Stretch the dough pieces out thinly in the center, leaving a 2 cm wide edge on the outside. Drop them into hot frying fat while they float, pour a tablespoon of hot fat over the center to prevent them from collapsing, and bake until golden brown. Let them drain on a kitchen towel. While still warm, sprinkle with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. In the past, the dough pieces were stretched over the knee to form them so they were thin in the middle.
