Fried kefir twists with powdered sugar are sweet breakfast pastries made with dough that needs no rising. The dough combines kefir, egg, melted butter, and flour with baking powder, and contains only a little sugar. It is rolled out and cut into small diamonds with a hole in the center through which the edges are pulled. Each piece is fried in hot oil for about two minutes, then dusted with powdered sugar.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Beat the egg with the sugar, then add the kefir and stir. Pour in the melted butter and mix thoroughly.
Mix the flour with the baking powder, add it to the wet mixture, and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Roll it out into a large circle and cut into strips, then cut the strips into smaller pieces. Trim each piece into a diamond shape and cut a small hole in the center.
Pull 2 edges of each diamond through the hole to form a twist. Pour plenty of sunflower oil into a frying pan, heat until hot, and fry each twist for two minutes.
Dust the finished twists with powdered sugar.

Tip: Dust the twists with powdered sugar once they have cooled slightly, since the sugar would melt on hot pastries. If making them ahead, wait until serving to dust them, as the sugar will absorb moisture and disappear as they sit.
