HOMEMADE DONUTS 😋
Ingredients:
1 tbsp instant dry yeast
120 ml warm milk
250 gr wheat flour
70g sugar
45 g butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 pinch salt
1/2 lt Oil (only for frying)
Preparation:
1. In a bowl, mix the yeast with the warm milk. Also, add 1 tablespoon of the same flour and 1 tablespoon of sugar (this will help activate the yeast). Mix well until there are no lumps and leave it resting for 15 minutes; you will see that the mixture has doubled in size.
2. In another container, add all the dry ingredients, that is, flour, sugar and salt. Mix well with the help of a hand mixer.
3. Add the activated yeast, egg, vanilla and butter. Mix with the help of a spoon and when finished, add an extra tablespoon of flour.
4. Now we must put the dough on a clean and dry surface. We knead over and over again until it no longer sticks to your fingers, and if necessary, we add a few extra tablespoons of flour.
5. Once the donut dough is no longer sticky, it's ready for the fun to begin. We will continue kneading for about 10 more minutes, from side to side, forming a roll, and hitting it.
6. In a container add a little oil, put the dough and cover it with a clean cloth. Now we must let the dough rise for about 40 minutes.
7. You will notice that it grew like double. Flatten the dough so that all the air comes out and with the help of a rolling pin, stretch it until it is approximately one finger thick.
8. We smear our circular mold with flour and proceed to cut. We pass them to a can or flat plate, which we must have previously oiled.
9. With a small lid, cut and remove the inner hole of the donuts. Roll out the excess dough again, and repeat the process.
10. Again we let them rest for about 30 more minutes, and you will see that they inflate very beautifully.
11. Heat 1/2 liter of oil over low heat for about 15 minutes. Now we go on to cook our donuts, putting them for a minute on each side. Done, remove them and let them cool.
