Ingredients
- 8 cups bread flour(1 kilo).
- 1 tablespoon of salt (20 grams).
- 2 tsp of dry active yeast.
- 1 tsp sugar.
- 3 cups or a little more of lukewarm water (750 to 850 ml).
- 2 medium potatoes about one pound (450 grams).
- Anchovies.
- Powder sugar.
- Cinnamon sugar (1 cup granulated sugar and one tablespoon of cinnamon).
- 4 cups oil for frying (1 liter) vegetable/canola/sunflower.
Instructions
-
Peel and cube your potatoes. Boil until tender, drain, and mash.
-
In a large bowl combine flour, salt, and potatoes.
-
Add sugar and yeast to 2 cups of lukewarm water and proof the yeast. Within a minute it should bubble up so that determines that it is active and alive.
-
Add the water/yeast to the flour and mix by hand. Slowly add more water as needed. I used a little over 3 cups.
-
The dough should be wet but not runny.
-
Work the dough by hand for 5 to 8 minutes until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap or kitchen towel and let it rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
-
I like to fry in a work or a deeper frying pan works too. Add oil and on medium-high heat let it get hot. You don’t want it too hot otherwise they won’t cook inside.
-
Wet your spoon and scoop out a spoonful and with the help of your finger drop dough in oil.
-
Dip anchovies in the batter to completely coat and then fry.
-
Dip the plain Crispelle in cinnamon or powdered sugar.
