Donuts

This is a recipe I've tried a few times now, and this time I got it just right. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 

Ingredients

  • 600 gr plain flour
  • 260 ml full milk
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 11 gr instant dry yeast
  • 100 gr butter
  • 40 gr sugar
  • 8 gr salt
  • 8 gr vanilla sugar

For the coating I used:

  1. Sugar
  2. Chocolate Glaze (Mix it all together)
    1. 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
    2. 2 tablespoons of milk
    3. 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
  3. Red Vanilla Donut Glaze (Mix it all together)
    1. 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
    2. 2 tablespoons of milk
    3. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1.    Add all the ingredients into the mixing bowl, start mixing for 2 minutes at low speed

2.    After that, increase the speed and continue mixing for another 10 minutes

3.    Remove the dough from the bowl and gently make a ball

4.    Place the dough in a greased bowl, set it aside and let it leaven until it doubles the size

5.    Put a bit of flour on the table and place the dough on top. Start rolling it until it has about 1 cm thick. Note: Make sure that you have the same thickness throughout

6.    Cut your dough with a donut cutter, if you don´t have, you can use 2 round cutters, one bigger and another smaller to make the hole

7.    Note: I put my donuts in a peace of baking paper each, as I show in one of the pictures.

8.    Set it aside, again, to leaven a little more, but now just the time to rise 50%

9.    Put the oil in a frying pan at 160 ˚C

10.  Put your donuts in the pan, and let them fry until they become gold.

11.  Take them out to a plate with kitchen paper so the oil can drain

12.  You can decorate as you like
