Warm the milk and melt the fat in it. Put flour in a bowl. Add crumbled yeast, sugar, vanillin sugar, lemon peel, egg and milk-fat mixture. Work through with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Cover and leave to rise for approx. 45 minutes in a warm place to double the size. Knead the dough again thoroughly. Cut off approx. 25 pieces with a tablespoon.
Form balls with floured hands. Cover and leave to rise for another 15-20 minutes. Heat up the lard. Press each ball of dough thinly apart in the middle so that a bulging edge is created. Fry until golden brown in portions. Drain on kitchen paper and serve dusted with icing sugar
Preparation time approx. 1 hour (without waiting time))
