Berliners or friar balls

Welcome to Paulina Kitchen! Today we have a great recipe for any time of the year! Berliners! Berli-what? Well, if you don't know what my friends is, it's because maybe they are called friar or milk bread!

It is a great recipe that they can do in one afternoon, and on top of that has two options, fried or baked. They have no excuses! It is a mass with a particularity. They will see what they do a very beautiful bun with the first steps, and when they add the butter everything goes to the demon.

As in love my friends. When adding more flavor, the thing is complicated and it seems that everything will go wrong, that it will be an enchastre forever and sure at that time they lament the day they decided to do Berlin (or fall in love) but trust a bit!

With patience everything is resolved, and the dough with butter is worth it. Just like life with a love out there (I put on rubber, enough as a series of Luis Miguel for me! )

About this Berlin recipe

As I already explained, with this Berlin recipe they can make both friar balls and milk bread. The difference is that friar's balls are fried, and milk bread is made in the oven.

It is a quite simple recipe or pastries, it is ideal to enter the world of pastry. You may seem similar to making a bread or a sweet bread, with the difference that includes butter and otherwise. If you do not dare to so much stay with traditional fried cakes

As always in the pastry recipes, they are careful with the times, the measures and the temperatures, which is the key for these Berlins to get incredible!

The boys can help in the whole process, but beware when frying! Why can oil jump and that is always very dangerous

Greetings and until next time!

Berlin recipe

or friar balls!

1. First we are going to prepare the sponge, which is what will give us elasticity. It consists of putting in a bowl, the milk, the broken yeast (if they use fresh) and about 2 tablespoons of flour of the total. Stir a little to integrate and cover. We are going to let it stand in a warm place and without air currents until it doubles its volume.
2. When this slim is, we will place the flour in another bowl and make a hole in the middle. Place the sugar on the sides and the egg and the vanilla essence in the middle with the lemon zest.
3. In the middle of everything, add the led sponge and beat everything with a fork to integrate well and beat the egg (yes, we can beat it before adding too). When you can not continue with the fork, we put hand. Let's knead until we have a very smooth bun.
4. Now the wing is coming: We are going to add the ointment butter little by little. They will see that the dough begins to be fastened and stuck. But don't fear! With a lot of kneading the butter ends up integrating (have faith by God!) When they have a smooth and super cute bun, they cover it and let it slight until its size doubles into a cold place and without air currents.
5. Once he led, we took pieces out of the dough and put together the buns. We give it by kneading on the table without tightening (in the video it looks good). Remember that this is going to lift once again, so do not make them very big! We take them to a plaque and let them levate until they double their size into a second levy.
6. The time has come to cook our Berlin. And here we have two options

Berlinasas fried (friar balls)

We are going to take them to oil not very hot and we are going to cook them until they are golden sides. You have to turn them around in the middle of cooking so that friar's balls are well cooked. When they leave fried, we pass them very fast through a plate with sugar to stick.

Baked bellins

This time, we leave them on a plate and take them to 180 ° until golden brown. When they leave they can decorate them with impalpable sugar. In both cases, to fill them, they make a pit with a diagonal scissors and fill them with dulce de leche in a sleeve or with whatever they want!

They do so to fill the friar's balls

With whatever they want!
