Stutenkerle or Weckmänner

Hi bakingfriends!

Right for St. Nikolaus I thought to myself, I do Stutenkerle. These are easy because they ware with curd and not with yeast.

I did it for my family and they were really excited , they have said that they are really tasty. They are soft and easy taste of lemon.

For the preparation, it takes approximately 20 minutes and 15 minutes for baking. The ingredients cost about 2.80 € (depending on what you have at home).

Since I am not an artist, they look not so good – sorry for that ;)!

Ingredients (4 Pieces): 

330g curd

13 tbsp. of milk

13 tbsp. of oil

8 tbsp. of sugar

2,5 small packages of vanilla-sugar

a pinch of salt

a little bit of lemon-flavour

633g flour

2 small packages of baking powder

some raisins for decorating

milk for spreading

1.

Mix the cud with milk, oil, sugar, vanilla-sugar, salt and lemon-flavour. After that  you mix the flour with the baking powder and stir it in. Then you knead the dough - it shouldn't stick no longer.

2.

Next you quarter them and turn it into roles (25cm). You mould them into ovals and shape the hands and legs. Then you shape the face and the body with the raisins. Put them on a baking plate ( 1 for 2) and dab them with milk.

3.

Put the "Stutenkerle" into the oven for 15 minutes (200°C). After that let them dry for 10 minutes. 

Finished!
