ZIPPOLE
Hierdie is ‘n resep vir Italiaanse “doughnuts” as ek dit so kan noem. Het dit vandag gemaak – dit is heerlik!! Baie vinnig om te maak
454 g cake flour
2 medium boiled potatoes (mashed)
7 g dry yeast
pinch of salt
2 cups lukewarm water
oil for frying
castor sugar or icing sugar
In a large bowl add the flour and the mashed potatoes.
Dissolve the yeast in warm water, add a pinch of salt and add to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients well and work the dough for about 5 minutes. Alternatively you can use a stand mixer.
The consistency of the dough should be rather soft. Add a bit of extra water or flour to adjust.
Cover the bowl with a cloth and leave to rise in a warm environment for about 1 hour.
Get your oil very hot in a deep frying pan and with a spoon drop strands of dough in irregular shapes.
Turn the dough in the oil until it is golden in colour. Remove the zippole from the oil and quickly sprinkle with a generous dose of castor sugar on all sides. Alternatively you can use icing sugar.
