Ingredients for 1 servings:
- 500 g flour
- 1 cube of yeast, fresh
- ¼ liter of milk
- 1 pinch of salt
- 80 g sugar
- 80 g butter
- 1 egg(s)
- lard
- Sugar
- Flour , for the work surface
Instructions
Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes
Put the flour in a bowl, make a well, crumble the yeast into it, sprinkle over a little sugar, mix with half of the lukewarm milk and a little flour. Cover with a cloth and let this pre-dough prove for 20 minutes in a warm place. When the pre-dough has risen sufficiently, add the remaining sugar, remaining lukewarm milk, salt, butter flakes and beaten egg. Mix well with a wooden spoon until the dough bubbles. Finally, place the dough on a floured work surface and knead well. The dough will be nice and smooth if you repeatedly pick it up and throw it onto the work surface. Cover again with a cloth and let it prove for another 20 minutes in a warm place. Roll out the dough, cut out circles with a glass and fry them in hot lard. Sprinkle with sugar. My grandmother didn’t re-roll the leftover dough; she simply cut the leftover dough into pieces and baked them, too. These oddly shaped pieces were a hit with us kids.
