  • Preparation: 20 min
  • Cooking: 8 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (86.5 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 35 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 15 g Egg yolks, raw
  • 8 g Sugar
  • 10 g Cream, heavy
  • 0.3 g Cardamom
  • 5 g Spirits
  • 0.2 g Salt
  • 10 g Vegetable oil
  • 3 g Sugar, powdered

Method

  1. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and thick, then whisk in the cream, cardamom, spirits and salt.
  2. Work in the flour to form a smooth, firm dough; wrap and rest for 20 minutes.
  3. Roll the dough thin and cut into small diamonds, slitting a short line in the centre of each and pulling one corner through the slit to make the twisted fattigmann shape.
  4. Heat plenty of oil in a deep pan to 180 °C (350 °F) and fry the pastries in batches for 1-2 minutes, turning once, until golden brown; only a little oil is actually absorbed.
  5. Drain on paper towels, dust with the powdered sugar once cool, and serve.
