Follow the steps below to make your own batch of homemade doughnuts, and don’t forget to get creative with the toppings and fillings!
Ingredients
- 3 cups cake flour
- 1 or 2 cups warm milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
- 65 grams butter
- 6 teaspoons sugar
Method
Start by making a soft dough with all the ingredients. Combine the cake flour, warm milk, egg, salt, yeast, butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms. Adjust the amount of milk as needed to achieve the right consistency.
Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a dish, cover it with cling film, and let it rise for a couple of hours until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out to your desired thickness. Use a doughnut cutter to cut out classic doughnut shapes, or roll the dough into long strips for cream doughnuts or small balls for jam doughnuts. Let the shaped doughnuts rise again for about an hour or two until they puff up.
Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to medium-high heat. Fry the doughnuts until they are golden brown on both sides. Be careful not to fry them on low heat, as this can make them greasy. Remove the doughnuts from the oil and let them cool slightly before decorating or filling.
Cream Doughnuts
Once the doughnuts are fried and cooled, cut them in half without cutting all the way through. Pipe fresh whipped cream into the center and decorate with a glazed cherry and a sprinkle of icing sugar.
Sugar Doughnuts
Mix sugar and cinnamon powder in a bowl. Toss the freshly fried doughnuts in the sugar mixture while they are still warm, ensuring an even coating.
