Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 cup milk, boiled
  • 1 egg(s), beaten
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 packet of yeast (dry yeast)
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • a little nutmeg, grated
  • n. B. Icing sugar for dusting
  • e.g. vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 45 minutes

In a bowl, mix the milk with the egg, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and sugar. Add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Add the flour, salt, and spices (use only a little nutmeg—you can omit it if you don’t like it) to the other ingredients, mix to form a dough, and knead well. Let this dough rise for about 45 minutes. Knead again until smooth. Roll out the dough into a 2.5 cm thick dough. Cut into small squares measuring 20 x 10 cm, cover, and let rise for another 45 minutes. Heat the vegetable oil to 190°C and fry the dough squares in batches until golden brown, turning occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a kitchen towel. Dust with powdered sugar and serve hot. Serve with a cafe au lait.
