Prep Time: about 35 min.
Resting Time: about 70 min.
Baking Time: about 20 min.
Difficulty: medium
Yield: 6 pieces

Ingredients for the dough

  • 250g flour
  • 15g yeast
  • 40g Frusano Corn Sugar
  • 1/8 L milk (lactose free if necessary)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 50g butter (lactose free if necessary)
  • A pinch salt
  • Oil for frying
  • Frusano Corn Sugar for tossing

Ingredients for the filling: 

Directions:

  1. Sift the flour into a bowl and form a depression in the center.  Sprinkle the yeast in the depression and mix in a teaspoon of Frusano Organic Corn Sugar.  Add a little lukewarm milk to the depression and mix with the yeast to create a starter dough.  Let rest, covered, in a warm location for 10 minutes.
  2. Add all the remaining ingredients for the dough into the bowl and knead together into a smooth dough.  Let rest in a warm location for 30 minutes.
  3. Place the dough on a lightly-floured work surface and knead with your hands.  Divide the dough into six pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and flatten slightly.  Cover the dough rounds and let them rest for another 30 minutes in a warm location.
  4. Heat the oil in a pot.  Reduce the heat and, one at a time, fry the dough rounds until both sides are golden brown.  Note: If the oil is too hot, the krapfen will be dark on the outside, but uncooked on the inside!  After frying, place the krapfen on a paper towel to blot the excess oil.
  5. Fill a pastry bag with Organic Red Currant Spread from Frusano and use it to fill the krapfen. Finally, toss the filled krapfen in Organic Corn Sugar from Frusano.
