The name of this dish in Slovenian literally means 'mice' and the shape of these fried apple dumplings (in fact they're more like baking powder leavened doughnuts) resembles little mice. Very easy to prepare and very tasty they make an excellent sweet sack or even a dessert.
Ingredients:
250ml yoghurt
300g plain flour
1 egg
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
salt, to taste
1 tsp dark rum
1 tart apple, cored, peeled and grated
icing sugar mixed with cinnamon, to dust
oil for frying
Method:
Beat together the yoghurt and egg in a bowl until smooth then add the sugar, oil, salt and rum before mixing in the grated apple. Sift together the flour and baking powder into a separate bowl then mix in the flour until you have a stiff batter.
Add oil to a wok or deep fryer and when hot take the batter by the tablespoon and drop in the oil (the batter should be stiff enough that it just holds the shape of the spoon, giving you 'mouse' forms).
Fry for about 40 seconds on one side, or until golden brown then turn over and fry on the other side. Remove with a slotted spoon when done, dust with a mix of icing sugar and cinnamon and serve hot.
