Servings: 30

200 g Sultanas
3/8 l Milk
500 g Flour
1 cube (42 g) fresh yeast
50 g Sugar
1 coated Tsp Salt
1 egg (size M)
75–100 g clarified butter
1-2 TABLESPOONS Icing sugar

Directions

1
Place the sultanas in a bowl, cover with cold water and leave to swell for about 15 minutes. Heat 1/8 litre of milk. Put flour into a bowl, press a hollow in the middle, crumble yeast into it. Add 1 tablespoon (15 g) sugar and lukewarm milk. Mix with some flour from the rim to a thick mash. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes
2
Drain the sultanas. Warm up 1/4 litre of milk. Sprinkle salt and 35 g sugar on the flour rim, add lukewarm milk and egg. Knead with the dough hooks of the hand mixer for about 3 minutes until the dough starts to bubble. Finally knead in the sultanas. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes
3
Heat the clarified butter in portions in a large pan. Using 2 tablespoons, add approx. 5 small heaps (approx. 1 heaped tbsp. each) to the pan and flatten them a bit at the same time. Fry over a low to medium heat for 4-5 minutes, turning. Place the finished strudel on a plate and keep warm. Bake about 25 more cakes from the remaining dough. Dust thickly with icing sugar for serving. Thickened cranberries or jam can be served with it.
