What you need:
– 15-20 g fresh yeast
– 1 tablespoon of sugar
– 1 very large egg or 2 medium ones
– 300 g flour (or more, if needed)
– 200 ml fresh milk
– 75 g butter
– 150-200 g raisins
– a shot of rhum
– pinch of salt
How to make:
Mix sugar and yeast until it has turned into liquid. Add eggs and rhum and mix. Then add milk and strips or cubes of butter (you need to incorporate it later into batter, so the smaller you make it, the easier of a life you have). Mix lightly. Mix flour, salt and raisins and add to the mix. Start kneading, at least 5 minutes, if necessary, add more flour. The dough should feel like you could take parts of it and form it with your hand without getting your hands soiled with wet dough too much:) Leave the dough to rise for around 1 hour, until it has preferably doubled in size. Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Then take out the dough, take small pieces of it, roll them into long „snakes“ and pull them together into a ring.
You can leave them to second-rise for around 15 minutes.
Then bake for approximately 15 minutes – depending on how large rings you managed to make! And enjoy!
You can make the dough in the evening before and leave it to rise in the refrigeator & use in the morning. Nothing bad happens.
How much does it cost:
Eggs are around 30-40 cents, butter around 1 euro (how do the prices keep rising monthly?), raisins around 40 cents, everything else around 1 euro – so less than 3 euros total.
