Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for Schenkeli, a Swiss pastry.

Add 100 grams of sugar to the kitchen machine.

Pour in 50 grams of milk and 50 grams of melted butter.

Add lemon zest to the mixture, emphasizing a bit more for contrast.

Mix the ingredients in the machine until combined, ensuring the mixture is not too warm or hot.

Add 2 grams of salt and 2 eggs to the machine.

Mix 400 grams of flour with 7 grams of baking powder and add it to the mixture.

Close the kitchen machine and mix until a dough forms, ensuring it is well combined.

Place the dough on a surface, cover it with foil, and refrigerate for 1 hour to cool.

After chilling, form the dough into 34 pieces for easy handling, without using flour to avoid issues when frying.

Shape the pieces into finger-thick strips, about 1 to 2 cm thick, and let them relax a bit.

Cut the strips into 8 to 10 cm pieces, adjusting as necessary to ensure they are uniform.

Heat oil in a pan to 180°C for frying, or use a deep fryer if available.

Test the oil temperature by inserting a wooden spoon; if it bubbles, the oil is ready.

Fry the dough pieces, turning them occasionally for even cooking, for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the fried pieces and let them drain on kitchen paper.

Ensure the fried pieces do not stick together and monitor the frying process closely to avoid burning.

If the dough is too soft, add a splash of milk; if too hard, it will break apart during frying.

The fried pieces can be frozen for later use.
