Step-by-step
Using a different robot? Switch it here:
- Put the warm water and lard in the mixing bowl and heat 2 min/50°C/speed 2.
- Add the flour, salt and baking powder and mix 30 sec/speed 6.
- Knead 3 min/closed lid/dough mode into a smooth dough.
- Let the dough rest, covered, 20 min.
- Roll out, cut circles and make a slit in the center; fry in hot lard until golden.
- Drain and sprinkle with sugar while still hot.
Tips
- The slit in the center keeps them from puffing up too much and helps them cook evenly.
- Serve fresh, alongside mate.
