After the indicated time, add the rest of the flour, milk and sugar to the leavening.

The result must be a smooth, elastic compound that detaches from the walls. Add the salt and finish the stringing.

If you have difficulty, turn over on a work surface, make 3 – 4 folds in a wallet and knead to obtain a smooth dough.

Sprinkle with flour and leave to rise for about 2 – 3 hours until it triples in volume:

At this point, turn the dough over onto a lightly floured work surface. Turn it upside down and form a smooth ball on the surface, with your hands dusted with flour.

How to form the Krapfen

First of all, roll out the dough on a surface dusted with flour with a floured rolling pin to a thickness of at least 1 cm.

Use a pastry bowl or a cookie cutter in the shape of a circle 8 – 10 cm.

As you make them, place them in a baking tray lined with baking paper, at a distance of 4 – 5 cm

Finally drain with a slotted spoon on absorbent paper.

Then insert a small 1/2 cm spout and the custard into the pastry bag. Insert the sac a poche into the Krafen forming a hole and fill with cream:
