Hollerküchlein

Ingredients

• 12 elderflower buds
• 1 egg
• 75 ml dry white wine
• 100 ml whipping cream
• 125 g flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar
• 0.5 tsp grated orange zest
• 2 tbsp liquid butter
• a pinch of salt
• 1 l vegetable oil (for frying)
• powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Do not wash the elderflower buds, just shake and dry them.

2. 2.

   Separate the egg; whisk the yolk with wine, cream, flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, and orange zest into a smooth dough. Fold in the butter and let the dough rest for about 20 minutes.

3. 3.

   Beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the dough. Gently press the elderflower buds through the dough. Heat the oil in a pot; it is ready when bubbles rise on a wooden spoon. Fry the buds one at a time in hot fat.

4. 4.

   Drain the fritters on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
