Kinkling is like a warm hug from Germany. It’s not just bread; it’s a cozy tradition that makes your heart happy.

In this blog, I will share with you a Kinkling recipe that is extremely delicious. Imagine a soft, fluffy loaf that’s golden on the outside and filled with warmth and love.

What Does Kinkling Taste Like?

Kinkling tastes like a soft, fluffy cloud with a crispy, golden crust. It’s a little sweet, like a hint of cinnamon. 

Every bite feels like a warm hug. You can dip it in your morning coffee or eat it with butter.

I tried kinkling on a cold winter day. A bakery in a cute German village had freshly baked kinkling. One bite and I fell in love with its taste and aroma.

Ingredients To Make Kinkling

  • Plain flour = 500g
  • Salt = 1 teaspoon 
  • Baking powder = 1 teaspoon 
  • Water = 200ml
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Fresh fish filets (such as cod or haddock) = 500g
  • Salt and pepper (to season)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps Involved In Making Kinkling

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
  2. Gradually add water, stirring until a smooth, thick batter forms, similar to pancake batter.
  3. Heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F) in a deep frying pan or fryer.
  4. Cut fish into bite-sized pieces, and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Dip fish in batter, ensuring full coating.
  6. Carefully place fish in hot oil, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy, in batches if necessary.
  7. Remove cooked kinkling with a slotted spoon, and drain on a paper towel.
  8. Serve hot with lemon wedges, often with chips and mushy peas.

Tips for Perfect Kinkling

  • Choose all-purpose flour for a soft texture.
  • Use fresh yeast and dissolve it in warm water for a good rise.
