For 6 portions

Ingredients

1 kg all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
4.5 dl lukewarm milk
2 eggs
250 ml sour cream
50 g yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
oil for frying

Preparation procedure

Preparing the starter: Crumble the yeast into a small bowl, add the powdered sugar and about 50 ml of lukewarm milk. Stir and leave in a warm place for 10–15 minutes for the starter to rise.
Preparing the dough: Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the salt and baking soda. Pour in the remaining lukewarm milk, the risen starter, the sour cream and the beaten eggs. Work into a smooth, supple dough by hand or using a stand mixer.
Proofing: Cover the finished dough with a clean tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
Shaping and frying: Cut smaller pieces from the risen dough and, with floured hands, shape them into round patties about 15 cm in diameter. Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer and fry the langos on both sides until golden. After frying, let them drain on paper towels.
Storing the dough: If you don't use all the dough, you can store it in a plastic bag greased with a little oil. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and you can use it as needed.
