Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 250 g special double handle flour
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 1 TABLESPOON Oil
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film
  • baking paper
  • 750 g green gooseberries
  • 500 g Sugar
  • 50 g Butter or margarine
  • 100 g finely chopped or ground almonds
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar 1-2 tablespoons icing sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour

Directions

  1. 1

    Knead flour, egg, oil, salt and 1/8 litre of lukewarm water with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth dough. Knead with your hands on a floured work surface until it is smooth and silky shiny.

  2. 2

    Cover and leave to rest for about 2 hours at room temperature. Meanwhile, clean and wash the gooseberries for the filling. Bring 1/2 litre water and sugar to the boil. Cook the gooseberries in the hot sugar solution for 5-8 minutes, drain and allow to cool.

  3. 3

    Melt the fat in a pot and let it cool down. Dust a large kitchen towel with flour and roll out the dough into a rectangle with a paper-thin roll of dough (you must be able to see the structure of the towel).

  4. 4

    Spread the pastry plate with half of the liquid butter and sprinkle with almonds and vanillin sugar. Spread the drained gooseberries evenly on the strudel, leaving a 3 cm wide rim all around.

  5. 5

    Roll up the strudel from the broad side with the help of the kitchen towel and place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Wrap the ends and brush the strudel with the remaining liquid fat.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 30-40 minutes. Dust the strudel with icing sugar. Results in about 18 pieces.
