Instructions

  1. Stir the flour well with the milk, salt and sugar and let it swell for ½ hour. Then stir in the eggs one at a time.

  2. Heat fat in a pan, pour in about 1 cm of batter and let it brown. Turn it; if that goes wrong it's no problem, as you can then start tearing the batter into small pieces and brown everything evenly, turning constantly.

  3. If you make the Kratzete in several batches, keep them warm on a plate in the oven at 100 °C.
