Does any of you love doughnuts?
The one with holes in the middle. With those yummy looking things on top and are often cover in chocolate or strawberry glaze?..
Im sure some of you do. So today im gonna teach you how to make doughnuts. Its pretty easy.
Ingredients:
500g Cake flour
175g Sugar
2 pcs Egg
1 cl. Milk
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon (optional)
1/4 tsp Nutmeg (optional)
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Melted buttee
2 tsp. Baking powder
Procedure:
- Make the Batter
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes or until thick. In a small bowl combine milk and melted butter.
Add the flour mixture and milk mixture alternately to the egg mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Cover and chill the dough for 2 to 4 hours.
- Roll the Dough
On a well-floured surface, roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Do not stir additional flour into the dough; this can cause the finished product to be heavy and dry.
- Cut the Dough
Use a floured 2-1/2-inch doughnut cutter to cut the dough into rings. Dip the cutter into flour between cuts to prevent the dough from sticking to the cutter. Each cut should produce one doughnut and one doughnut hole.
Reroll dough scraps as necessary to make about 16 doughnuts and 16 doughnut holes.
- Fry the Doughnuts
If using an electric deep-fat fryer, heat the oil to 365°F according to manufacturer's directions. Or, in a heavy, deep large saucepan, heat the oil to 365°F.
Ease a doughnut into the heated oil with a long-handle slotted spoon, taking care not to let the oil spatter. Fry the doughnuts, two or three at a time, in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until they are golden brown, turning once.
Remove the doughnuts with the slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain back into the fryer or pan.
Drain the doughnuts on paper towels.
Repeat with remaining doughnuts.
Cool the doughnuts slightly.
Once the doughnuts are cooked, you can coat them with chocolate glaze (which i will be talking about on a separate post) or with whatever that suits your taste.
