Instructions:
-
Mix and Make Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, baking powder, salt, and sour cream.
- Mix the ingredients until a soft, pliable dough forms. Ensure that the dough is not too sticky but holds together well.
-
Roll and Cut:
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about ¼ inch.
- Using a knife or pastry cutter, cut the dough into oblong pieces of desired size.
-
Make a Cut:
- With each oblong piece, make a single cut in the center, taking care not to slice from edge to edge.
-
Twist and Shape:
- Take one end of each piece and pull it through the middle cut, creating a twisted shape.
-
Fry Until Golden Brown:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the twisted dough pieces into the hot oil, frying them until they turn a beautiful golden brown color on both sides.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Once fried, remove the roll kuchen from the oil and let them cool on a wire rack or paper towels to drain off excess oil.
-
Sprinkle with Icing Sugar:
- Once cooled, generously sprinkle the roll kuchen with icing sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
-
Serve with Watermelon:
- Arrange the freshly prepared German Roll Kuchen on a serving platter and serve alongside slices of refreshing watermelon for a delightful contrast of flavors.
