Ingredients
- 352g of plain flour
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 large egg
- 240ml lukewarm milk
- 30g of sugar
- ½ teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and lukewarm milk. Mix and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it forms bubbles.
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt.
- Add the egg to the milk-yeast mixture and mix well. Bring the mixture to a work surface, then knead in the butter until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes).
- Shape the dough into a rough ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, divide it into 60-80g portions and roll them into balls. Let them rise for 5 minutes before flattening each ball and creating a hole in the center using a piping tip.
- Let the doughnuts rise for another 15 minutes.
- Heat the oil to 180ºC and test the temperature by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil. If it fries quickly, the oil is ready.
- Fry doughnuts for about 1 minute per side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Optionally, roll in powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or dip in glaze.
Notes
- You can fill your doughnuts with jelly, custard, or chocolate cream after frying.
- For a vegan version, use margarine and a flaxseed egg replacement.
- Ensure the oil temperature is accurate for perfect results.
