Ingredients
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 100 ml milk
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- 15 g dry yeast
- 30 g butter
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch of salt
- 300 ml oil for deep frying
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Take butter out of the fridge an hour before cooking; let it soften and become manageable.
- Before combining ingredients for the dough, slightly warm up the milk. Add dry yeast, a pinch of salt, and the amount of sugar that is mentioned in the list. Thoroughly stir to combine all the ingredients so that sugar and yeast dissolve a little in milk. Set the mixture aside for 10-15 minutes for yeast to activate.
- Sift flour through a fine sieve into the milk; next beat an egg and add butter to the mixture.
- First, stir the mixture with a spoon and then knead the dough with your hands until you have a thick but soft and tender dough. Let the dough sit for 60 minutes covered in a bowl before deep-frying. After a while, the dough will rise approximately twice its size.
- Sprinkle the surface with some flour before rolling the dough. Divide the dough into several even pieces to get the layer 5 mm thick. Cut doughnuts with a doughnut cutter (you can also use biscuit cutters of two sizes).
- Heat oil in a deep saucepan. Lower doughnuts into hot oil (use a slotted spoon; so the purpose is not to get burned) and fry them until golden. It should take 2 minutes for each side and you better fry them in bunches by 2 or 3 pieces. Let the oil reheat between each batch of doughnuts.
- Drain fried donuts on the paper towels to get rid of excess oil; sprinkle doughnuts with some powdered sugar before serving. Bon appetite!
