Bollebäuschen doughnuts
Bollebäuschen are also called Ballbäuschen, Bombeisges or Ballebäuschen, depending on the region. The common feature for these doughnuts is a cast iron pan with seven round depressions in which the balls are fried in the fat. Who lacks this pan, take the normal fat bath and bake them floating.
Like most old recipes, there are different recipes. But in any case it is a yeast dough.
In the Bergisches Land, the Ballebäuschen or Ballebäuskes are part of the Bergische Kaffetafel. In the Lower Rhine region, they are traditionally eaten on New Year’s Day and Good Friday. In Bremen, the Bombeisges used to be baked by themselves in almost every household. The name derives from the French “bon Baiser” = “good kiss”. Today, it is occasionally encountered as a dessert option in a Bremen restaurant.
