Doughnuts!! For me, as a child, Doughnuts were a fancy sweet snack. I used to think that making doughnuts is a very tough job and a very time consuming job but that was only until I was unaware of this recipe. Now making doughnuts is a child's play and trust me on this, if I can do it, you can do it too. It is one of the most basic recipes which I'll be sharing with you people. The best part about this recipe is that you don't need to wait for your doughnut dough to rise with the help of yeast because you don't need yeast in this recipe so it saves your time and is a hassle free recipe. The crust is really crispy and yet it's soft from inside. Cake Doughnuts are at their best when fresh and they only get better the next day.
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, room temperature
2/3 cups granulated white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup milk, room temperature
2 cups (240 grams) confectioners sugar (powdered or icing sugar), sifted
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, room temperature
2/3 cups granulated white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup milk, room temperature
2 cups (240 grams) confectioners sugar (powdered or icing sugar), sifted
Method
1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and freshly ground nutmeg.
2. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale yellow (takes about five minutes) then beat in vanilla extract.
3. Alternately, start adding the flour mixture, which should be added in three additions along with the milk and melted butter,which should be added in two additions, beginning with flour and also ending with the flour. The batter will be quite soft. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until batter is firm to roll.
4. Then place the dough on a floured surface, and with a lightly floured rolling pin,roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Cut the dough into 3 inch rounds, using a lightly floured doughnut cutter or cookie cutter and with a smaller cookie cutter, cut out the center hole.
5. Heat the oil and carefully place the doughnuts into the hot oil, about 2 to 3 at a time depending on the size of your saucepan. Fry each side until golden brown, about a minute per side.
6. Carefully remove the doughnuts from the hot oil. Place on a baking sheet lined with clean paper towels.
7. After the doughnuts have cooled about a minutes or two, you can roll them in granulated white sugar. Or let cool completely and then dust with powdered sugar or dip in the chocolate glaze.
Done, Enjoy!
