Donut / Doughnut
A luxury dessert or a snack .. call it as you like..deep fried donuts with irresistible chocolate coating and colourful sprinkles must have surely caught your eyes at bakeries and Donuts shops... Now make this beauty at your home with ingredients always at your reach.
Ingredients
1 cup : 225 ml- Maida / All Purpose Flour : 2 cups
- Lukewarm milk : 3/4 cup
- Melted butter: 1/4 Cup
- Dry active yeast : 1 Tsp
- Salt : 1/2 tsp
- Sugar : 2 Tbspn
- Oil to deep fry the donuts
Method
- Measure all the ingredients except milk and oil to a wide bowl and mix it well
- Add milk little at a time and make a soft dough. If you have a food processor with kneading attachment you can use that and it works perfect.
- Roll the dough to 1 inch thick flat sheet
- Make shapes of donuts using a donut cutter or simply a glass for the bigger circle and small bottle cap for the inner circle
- Arrange the shaped donuts in a tray and spread some oil on the top to prevent from drying, cover it with a dry cloth and allow it to rise for about 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
- Heat oil to deep fry and once oil is moderately hot add the donuts and fry both sides until light brown. Keep the flame in medium low as the donuts should get cooked inside before changing its color outside.
- Transfer it to a plate lined with kitchen napkin
- You can simply dust the moderately hot donuts with powdered sugar for the simplest version or you can coat them with melted chocolate of your choice. I melted a 90 Gm bar of Milk Chocolate on a double boiler until very smooth and dipped the fried donuts in the chocolate once the chocolate reached room temperature. You can use white chocolate or dark chocolate as per your choice
- To make it more fancy you can dip it on sprinkles after the chocolate has been coated..
Note: Make sure you fry the donuts after they have doubled in size. Take out the donuts from the oil once its light brown coz it will get a little darker when out of oil.
Happy Cooking!!
