Carnival Pastry and Herbal Tea

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Sour cream
• 2 tbsp vanilla sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 pinch salt
• 250 g flour
• flour (for working)
• butter fat (for frying)
• powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Whisk the sour cream with vanilla sugar, eggs and salt. Gradually knead in the flour until a smooth, firm dough forms. Wrap in cling film and chill for about 30 minutes.

2. 2.

   Heat the fat in a pot to about 170°C. It is hot enough when bubbles rise on the handle of a wooden spoon held in the fat. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 2 mm thickness and cut into diamonds.

3. 3.

   Fry portions in hot fat for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper. Dust heavily with powdered sugar, e.g., serve with tea.
