1 egg
granulated sugar
500 grams of pastry flour
50 grams of fresh yeast
50 grams of caster sugar
Nonnenvot means the ass of a nun in The Limburg dialect.
This typical pastry is traditionally eaten during the
carnival. It dates back to the 17th century. The best
explanation for the name is that the pastry resembles the
noose that the nuns used to wear on their backs.
Cover, set aside at room temperature and draft-free. Allow to
rise for 1 hour. Knead again and press out the air. Let rise
again for 20 minutes and press the dough flat to remove the
air bubbles.
Roll out the dough and cut strings of about 30 cm long. Make
rolls out of it and put a knot in it. Let them rest for a while
before frying the knots until golden brown at 180 ° C. When
they are done, sprinkle generously with fine sugar.
