Gebackene Mäuse English Recipe ("Austrian Baked Mice")

Rezept drucken
Baked Mice are a type of fried pastry made from yeast dough, similar to donuts or Austrain and German Faschingskrapfen. This recipe provides step-by-step instructions with pictures to bring back this nostalgic Austrian childhood pastry!
Vorbereitungszeit 30 Minuten
Arbeitszeit 30 Minuten
Portionen 8 portions

Zutaten

  • 2 ⅔ cups flour I used half whole wheat flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 0.7 oz fresh yeast or 1 tsp. (8 gram) dry yeast
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar approx. 1 tablespoon
  • 1 tablespoon rum optional
  • Grated lemon zest optional
  • About 1 ⅔ cups oil for frying I used a bit less and it still worked, but they don't float as well in the end

Anleitung

  • Dissolve the yeast cube with the sugar in the lukewarm (but not too warm!) milk in a large bowl.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients into the bowl and mix for a few minutes with the dough hook.
  • Cover and let rest in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, until the dough has expanded.
  • Heat the oil in a pot. The right temperature is reached when small bubbles form around the handle of a wooden spoon when dipped into the oil.
  • Use a spoon to scoop out portions of the yeast dough and place them into the oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, then let them drain on a paper towel. If the "mice" brown too quickly, lower the temperature a bit.
  • Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
