- 1 tsp Salt
- 4 tbsp Sugar
- 90 g Butter Block Butter
- 250 ml Lukewarm Water
- 1 Egg
Icing Glaze
- 200 g Icing Sugar
- 5 tbsp Water Or More If Needed
Instructions
- Pour flour, salt, yeast and sugar into a large mixing bowl and mix together until evenly distributed.500 g Strong White Bread Flour, 14 g Fast Action Yeast, 1 tsp Salt, 4 tbsp Sugar
- Gently rub the butter into the flour mixture, just enough to break it up.TIP: Gently rub the butter into the flour, you’ll want chunks of butter rather than the mixture resembling breadcrumbs.90 g Butter
- Pour lukewarm water and an egg into the mixing bowl and mix together. You may need to bring the dough together with your hands.250 ml Lukewarm Water, 1 Egg
- Then cover the dough with cling film and leave the dough to rest for 30 minutes.
- Lightly flour your work-surface and place the dough on top. Roll your dough into a long rectangle shape, then fold the two ends into the middle. Then close the dough together like a book, repeat this step 3 to 4 times.
- Place the dough back in the mixing bowl and cover with cling film. Leave to rest for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough again into a long rectangle, cut the dough into 16 long strips. Then cut a line in the middle of each strip, leaving a 2 cm gap of dough at both ends.
- Twist each strip into a twirl, watch the video to see how I did this. Place the twisted strips onto a lined baking tray, cover with cling film and leave to double in size for at least 45 minutes.
- Make the icing mixture by mixing together icing sugar and water. Do this towards the end of the 45-minute resting time.200 g Icing Sugar, 5 tbsp Water
- Fry the yum yums on a medium heat for 2 minutes on both sides or until golden brown. Once each yum yum is done, place on a cooling rack and immediately coat in the icing mixture.Don't forget to turn the yum yum over and coat all sides.
