Ingredients

Servings: 15
  • 1/8 l Milk
  • 1/2 cube (21 g) Yeast
  • 250 g + some flour
  • 50 g + approx. 150 g sugar
  • 25 g Baking cocoa
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 1 Egg (Gr. M)
  • 75 g soft + some butter
  • 100 g cherry jam
  • 1 kg Vegetable fat for deep-frying

Directions

  1. 1

    For the dough, warm milk lukewarm. Crumble yeast into it and dissolve while stirring. Mix 250 g flour, 50 g sugar, cocoa and 1 pinch of salt. Add the egg. Add yeast milk. Stir in with the dough hooks of the mixer while kneading 75 g soft butter in flakes.

  2. 2

    As soon as the dough forms into a ball, continue kneading for about 3 minutes. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until its volume has doubled.

  3. 3

    Knead the dough briefly on a little flour. Form into a roll on a well floured work surface. First cut into about 15 pieces and then shape them into balls. Press each ball flat one after the other (approx. 8 cm Ø).

  4. 4

    Place approx. 1⁄2 TL jam on each. Pull the edges of the dough over the jam and close.

  5. 5

    Place filled dough balls on a greased baking tray with the seam facing down. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Heat the frying fat in a deep fryer or a wide pan to 160-170 °C. Deep-fry 4-5 balls in each pan for approx. 6 minutes, turning them carefully with a skimmer. Lift them out and let them drip off briefly.

  7. 7

    Immediately roll in about 150 g sugar and let it cool down.
