Food / Kopytka, pyzy, kluski [60]
Ingredients:
0,5 kg wheat four
1 glass of milk,
2 eggs,
3 table spoon melted butter,
30g yeast,
salt and sugar
Preparation: (in polish for now)
Z mleka, drożdży, niewielkiej ilości mąki i odrobiny cukru sporządzić rozczyn, który powinien mieć konsystencję gęstej śmietany. Ustawić w ciepłym miejscu do wyrośnięcia. Do miski wsypać mąkę, wbić jaja i wlać rozczyn. Ciasto wyrabiać ręką tak długo, aż będzie odrywać się od brzegów miski. Wówczas dodać stopione i ostudzone masło, szczyptę soli i dalej wyrabiać. Następnie miskę nakryć ściereczką i ustawić w ciepłym miejscu do wyrośnięcia. Gdy ciasto podwoi swoją objętość, formować okrągłe kluski wielkości pączków i układać na stolnicy posypanej mąką. Gdy zaczną rosnąć, gotujemy je na parze. Szeroki garnek z wrzącą wodą nakrywamy płócienną ściereczką i obwiązujemy sznurkiem wokół brzegu. Na ściereczce układamy kluski partiami i nakrywamy miską dopasowaną do obwodu garnka. Gotujemy ok. 10 min, aż będą puszyste. Podawać na gorąco z sosem jagodowym lub innym owocowym, stopionym masłem i cynamonem albo z pieczenią i sosem
