Recipe from South Tyrol for a sweet fried dessert made of flour, eggs, a little alcohol, melted butter and milk. It is served still warm, sprinkled with icing sugar and garnished preferably with cranberry jam.

Ingredients:

Rule for 4 servings: 280 g smooth flour 40 g melted butter 1/4 l semi-skimmed milk 3-4 pcs of egg 2 tablespoons of pure alcohol (vodka, slivovitz…) pinch of salt frying oil + funnel (funnel) powdered sugar and marmalade for garnish

Procedure:

Salt the flour, mix it with the liquid ingredients, i.e. melted butter, alcohol and milk, pour a little of this in, stir, pour in, the batter should be thick but slightly runny, like for pancakes.

Heat more oil, pour batter into the hot oil using a funnel, make smaller rounds, gradually increase the rounds. Fry the individual tassels until golden brown.

Use a suitable ladle, ideally straight, with holes, to pull out the tassels and let them drain on a paper towel.

While still warm, serve sprinkled liberally with icing sugar, decorate with some good jam, cranberry jam is great, but other jam can be used.
