Ingredients:
- 300g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 45g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 7g (1 packet) dry yeast
- 140ml (3/5 cup) hot milk (not boiling)
- 40g (1/4 cup) softened unsalted butter
For the Decoration:
- Whipped cream (freshly whipped)
- Fresh strawberries, chopped
- Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Preparation:
In a medium bowl, combine sugar, yeast, and hot milk. Stir until the yeast dissolves and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Whisk in the egg. Add flour and salt, and mix with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Incorporate the softened butter and continue kneading until fully combined. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Flatten each ball slightly, then reshape into a ball. Cover and let rest for another 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep pan over low heat. Fry the dough balls for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and let cool slightly. Slice each ball horizontally, like a burger bun. Fill one half with a generous dollop of whipped cream and top with chopped strawberries. Close with the other half, sprinkle with granulated sugar, and serve immediately.
