Ingredients

  • 1 kg (5 cups ) flour
  • 1 litre (4 cups) milk
  • 10 eggs
  • 6 big potatoes , grated
  • 1 cube yeast (about 16 g or 0.6 oz dried yeast)
  • 500 g (2 cups) raisins

  • Oil for frying

Directions

1

Put the yeast in a very big bowl or pot. Mix in the warm milk and grated potatoes by hand.

2

Mix in the flour and eggs, then the salt and sugar. Stir until it is a homogeneous dough . It should be neither runny nor solid, but have a consistency like soft cookie dough; add milk or flour to adjust.

3

Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

4

Heat lots of oil in a frying pan over low heat.

5

Scoop palm-sized amounts of dough into the hot oil, and fry over low heat.

6

Serve it with liver sausage (Leberwurst), syrup, plum jam or a small chunk of butter.
