For 4 serving

Ingredients

4 eggs
1 cup (approx. 200 ml) sour cream
1 packet baking powder
about 20 tablespoons plain flour (or less as needed)
1 teaspoon salt
oil for frying

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the cup of sour cream and mix everything well. Gradually add the flour mixed with the baking powder and salt. Mix into a soft, smooth and pliable dough similar to that for pizza or sweet buns.
Shaping On a floured surface roll the dough out into a sheet about 1 cm thick. Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut the dough into squares.
Frying Fry the donuts in a deeper layer of oil until golden on both sides. After frying, let them drain on a paper towel to remove excess fat.
