Experience the joy of traditional Lyon-style grandmother’s bugnes with this recipe. These carnival pastries strike the perfect balance between fluffy and crispy, offering an easy-to-make festive treat.
Ingredients
For 16 servings:
– Flour: 300 grams
– Sugar: 75 grams
– Baking Powder: 1 packet
– Rum: 2 tablespoons
– Softened Butter: 50 grams
– Beaten Eggs: 3
Preparation
1.
Mixing the Dough
Start by combining the baking powder with the flour. Next, stir in the sugar. Blend in the eggs, butter, and rum, mixing thoroughly until the dough comes together smoothly.
2.
Dough Resting
Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 3 hours at room temperature, allowing it to rise slightly and develop flavors.
3.
Shaping the Bugnes
Once rested, form the dough into a ball and roll it out on a lightly floured surface (add more flour if the dough is too sticky).
4.
Cutting the Dough
Use a crimped pastry wheel to cut the dough into diamond shapes, approximately 6 cm by 3 cm, or any desired shape.
5.
Frying the Bugnes
Heat oil to 170°C (use a neutral oil like sunflower) and fry the bugnes. Turn them midway through cooking to ensure an even light golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Cook in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
Finishing Touches
After frying, drain the bugnes on a plate lined with paper towels. While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar for a delightful finish.
