Boiled maidens in mulled wine sauce: this is how you make the sweet winter recipe
For the dough,
beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar as well as 2 tablespoons of hot water with a hand mixer until foamy.
Heat approx. 1 liter of frying oil to 180 ° C in a tall saucepan or in a deep fryer.
Tip if you don't have a thermometer: If small bubbles form on the handle of a wooden spoon, the oil is hot enough.
Mix the flour and baking powder and carefully fold both into the egg and sugar mixture.
Now use a wet tablespoon to cut off elongated cams from the dough.
Put this in portions in the hot fat and bake all around for about 5 minutes until golden.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the finished "maidens" and allow them to drain on a piece of kitchen roll.
For the mulled wine
sauce, heat the red wine together with the lemon juice, the zest and the spices over low heat in a saucepan.
Do not bring to a boil!
Then strain off the spices and add the fried dumplings.
Let it steep in the sauce for a moment, then take it out and serve on plates with the mulled wine sauce.
If you like, you can dust the boiled maidens with cinnamon and sugar or powdered sugar.
