Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place the yeast in a 1/4 cup warm milk and let it sit for a little bit.

Step 2

In a large bowl mix together the sugar and flour. Make a notch in the middle and pour in the milk yeast mix. Do not stir, but rather leave it to rise for about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Then add the butter, milk , eggs and a pinch of salt.

Step 4

Now knead the dough until it throws bubbles. Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for about 60 minutes (or until doubled).

Step 5

After the waiting time cut out (or pinch off) the dough into large oval-shaped pieces and place them on a flour dusted baking sheet. Let it sit for another 30 or so minutes.

Step 6

Then pull the dough pieces from the center outwards, so it forms a thick outer edge and a paper thin center.

Step 7

Deep fry immediately. As soon as it adopts a golden brown color the cakes can be turned. When removing them from the oil briefly drain them and then sprinkle with a cinnamon-sugar mixture .

Step 8

They are best when served hot.
