Hummm…want to try to make some doughnuts at home….first time….wish me luck!
Was Delicious and well worth the work.
Although, I went to the pub and forgot them as they were rising it was ok in the end…
also got lazy and did not do the glaze this time
Everybody likes them at the house and the taste and texture is like the “real ones”
Ingredients:
- 280g of Flour.
- 1/4 Teaspoon of grated Nutmeg.
- 40g sugar.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- 120g warm milk.
- 1 egg
- 7g dry yeast
- 40g melted butter
- For Glaze:
- 75g Melted butter
- 250g icing sugar or crystal sugar blitzed in the blender
- 3 to 5 tablespoons of milk (adjust to preference)
How to Make:
- Mix the dry ingredients
- Dilute the 7g yeast in a bit of water (I find it does not dilute well in milk)
- Add melted butter and warm milk
- Make a dough that will be fairly sticky. (oil your hands if necessary)
- Let rise in a covered lightly oiled bowl. (let rise to twice volume)
- Make a thick dough sheet and cut with the doughnut cutter or 2 cutting ring of the right sizes.
- Place on cling film with a tiny bit of oil so that it does not stick.
- Prepare oil in a pan or deep fat fryer. I use peanuts oil.
- 160 celsius is OK temperature so that the doughnut rise and cook throughout without getting too dark. I turn them once or twice depending on their size.
- Glaze (if you want them glazed) then set aside for a little bit before eating…
