Verwurelter — Print Recipe — The Culinary Codex

Twisted, golden carnival fritters dusted with powdered sugar, light and crispy with a subtle hint of brandy in the dough.

Ingredients

1 Mix flour, eggs, melted butter, sugar, brandy, lemon zest, and salt into a smooth dough. Knead briefly.
2 Rest the dough covered for 30 minutes at room temperature.
3 Roll out very thin on a floured surface. Cut into rectangles about 10cm x 5cm.
4 Cut a slit in the center of each rectangle. Pull one end through the slit to create a twist.
5 Deep-fry at 175°C (345°F) for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
6 Drain on paper towels and dust generously with powdered sugar while still warm.
