Total time
(prep and cooking)3 hours or more
PreparationWarning: this recipe may take a bit
more time and skill to make perfect krafne!
It will take you about three to four hours to
do them.
With this caveat let us
start. Mix together milk, egg yolks, egg, sugar,
salt, grated
orange skin and vanilla sugar. Mix it warm and
pour gradually onto flour, add
melted butter, add the yeast and rum. Work the
mix very good with a wooden
spoon, until the dough does not stick to the
bowl and spoon any more.
We take the risen dough
and put it on well floured top. Roll into a
1 cm
thick roll and cut with a glass into pieces.
TRepeat with other pieces until you run out
of
dough. Leave on the pices on a well floured
top, cover with kitchen towel and
let raise.
While doughnut pieces rise,
put oil in a pot two cm or more deep. Start
with one
doughnut to check out if the oil has the right
temperature and that the dough
has risen enough. If the conditions are right
the dougnut will float in the
middle. Close the lid. After the lower half
gets golden brown, roll the doughnut
over in oil and leave the lid open, until the
other half becomes golden as well.
When done remove from oil
and drain oil by putting the doughnut on a strainer.
Serve while warm with some confection sugar
on top. Remember that krafnes are
never served on top of each other. |
