Who said that donuts are the only thing we should be eating at carnival time? Fried mice are a sweet fried pastry made from yeast dough and they get their name from their shape.

Ingredients 4 Portions

  • For the batter

    • 300 gFlour, smooth
    • 50 gPowdered sugar
    • 2 pcs.Egg yolks
    • 250 mlMilk
    • 50 gButter, melted
    • 7 gYeast, dried
    • 1 pinchSea Salt, Coarse
    • 200 mlSunflower oil
  • To sprinkle

  • For the apple sauce

Preparation

  1. 1

    First mix the flour with the yeast in a bowl. Now add the other ingredients one by one and use the hand mixer to achieve a smooth batter. Then cover and leave to prove for at least half an hour.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, combine the granulated sugar with the cinnamon.

  3. 3

    Next add the oil to a pot or tall pan and heat slowly. Use a spoon to gently lower the dumplings into the oil and fry until golden brown. Then allow to drain on a piece of paper towel.

    Hint:

    To find out whether the oil is the correct temperature, simply dip a wooden spoon into it. If small bubbles appear, the oil is at the perfect temperature.

  4. 4

    Toss the fried mice in the cinnamon sugar. Home-made apple sauce would make the ideal accompaniment. You can prepare the puree the day before and simply keep it in the fridge.

  5. 5

    To make the apple puree, squeeze the lemon and add to a pan with the Apple Strudel Seasoning Mix and 1/8 liter of water.

  6. 6

    Peel the apples, remove the cores and dice. Make sure the whole apple cores are removed completely. Bring the diced apple to a boil in the lemon-infused water.

  7. 7

    Allow to simmer for around 20 minutes until the apples are soft. Now use a hand blender to finely puree. The apple sauce is ready.

    Hint:

    If you have a sweet tooth, add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
