Uštipci-Donuts - Fritters There are several recipes for donuts, but I have to admit that I usually make them this way. Simply, quickly, without smearing the hands with the dough, and most importantly, they do not absorb fat at all, they are soft as a “soul”. I often prepare them, and most often for dinner. Follow recipe. Ingredients:(DONUTS, MEKIKE, UŠTIPCI- FRiTTERS) about 400 g of flour 1 whole egg 1/2 cube of fresh yeast — 20 g/ or 7 g dry yeast 100-200 ml lukewarm milk /or water 1–2 teaspoons of sugar 1–2 salts and Plenty frying oil Uštipci (similar to donuts) Preparation: In a large whisk, melt the yeast in 100 ml of lukewarm milk. Allow the yeast to ferment for 15 minutes. In a deep bowl add the egg, sugar, salt, flour and with the addition of lukewarm milk and yeast, stir with a mixer (with the whipping-additive), for 7 minutes, until the dough thickens. Cover the kneaded dough with a clean cloth and leave it in a warm place until it rises, about 30 min. Take out the dough with an oiled spoon and fry in heated oil. (Pre-dip the spoon in the oil to make it easier to remove the dough with another spoon. Donuts grow quickly and are fried in a very short time). You can eat these fritters both sweet and salty. If you have opted for sweet ones, then sprinkle them with powdered sugar or add jam or Nutella.

Recipes Lena Recipes Lena Thank you for visiting my site. I trust that you will find inspiration here to embark on a journey towards healthier living and eating. This website was established during the COVID-19 pandemic. I was motivated to write, perhaps due to a combination of boredom and passion, particularly because of my love for cooking. I am eager to share these recipes with you. As a child, I wasn't particularly interested in spending time in the kitchen with my mother as she prepared various dishes. Like many in my generation, I preferred socializing outside. My interest in cooking began at the age of 17, although I was still a novice at that time. In the 1980s, I started collecting recipes from various sources, including family and my travels. I recall an incident where my father mistakenly discarded my recipe book, thinking it was an old notebook. I was quite upset but managed to recreate and gather my collection again. Today, I have amassed over 20,000 recipes. Over the years, I learned from my elders, particularly my mother and aunts, who provided guidance and advice. I am grateful to them for imparting their culinary wisdom to me. I must admit that I am selective about the food I consume, possessing a refined palate. Consequently, I have curated a selection of renowned dishes from various countries. Among these are family recipes passed down through generations, which you will find on this blog. I trust you will enjoy them.
