Yummy donuts
Sweet things in the carnival season...
Just as funny streamers, creative costumes and colourful make-up Krapfen are part of any carnival season. As little sweet treat at the carnival party or in the break of the costume contest. We have a simple donut recipe for you as homemade tastes best.
That's what you need:
- 200 ml milk
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 yeast cube
- 5 egg yolks
- 50g sugar
- 60g soft butter
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 package vanilla sugar
- jam for the filling
- 1.5 litres oil for frying
What to do:
1. Warm up the milk lukewarm. Add yeast and 1 tsp. sugar and let the dough leave in a warm place for around 10 minutes.
2. Add flour to a bowl and knead with yeast milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, salt and vanilla sugar to a dough. Cover the bowl and leave in a warm place for around 1 hour.
3. Flour the surface generously. Now knead the dough well and roll it out around 1 cm thick. Next, use a glass to cut out circles of the dough and place the dough-pieces on a baking sheet which is floured richly. Leave the dough-pieces for another hour.
4. Heat up the oil to around 160-170 d C and start to deep-fry the dough balls in portions and turn them around. Take out the sputtered dough-pieces and let them cool on paper towel.
5. At last, fill in the jam by using a piping bag with small spout. Put it in sidewards to fill the Krapfen with jam. Sprinkle them with powdered sugar and enjoy your carnival donuts!
