You will need the following products:
- - 1 kg of flour + 0.5 kg for processing (to sprinkle on the table and add to the dough if necessary),
- - 2 eggs,
- - 0.5 l. milk,
- - 150 gr. warm water,
- - 1 packet of dry yeast or 70 gr. raw,
- - 1 packet of vanillin,
- - 1 tsp. + 2 tbsp. l. Sahara,
- - salt,
- - 700 gr. sunflower oil.
It is necessary to remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it warms up and becomes soft.
Prepare a wide-necked glass and a small glass, or half a chocolate egg shell.
Donuts are made in a certain order:
1. First you need to prepare a mixture like a dough. Pour milk, water into a deep bowl, add a packet of yeast, 1 tsp. Sahara. To stir thoroughly. Cover with a thick towel or napkin. Leave for 15 minutes for the yeast to activate and start working.
2. Add eggs and softened butter to the prepared dough. Add 1 tsp. salt, 2 tbsp. l. sugar and vanillin. Mix everything well, beat with a mixer if desired. If the butter has not completely melted, no big deal.
3. Add 1 kg of flour. Stir everything with a spoon until smooth. Then knead the dough with your hands. If it sticks to your fingers, add a little more flour. Cover with a thick cloth. Place in a warm place for 1 hour.
4. After time, the dough will rise and double in size. Place it on a table sprinkled with flour in advance. Mix again.
5. Divide in half using a knife. Place one part back in the bowl, cover with a napkin so that it does not dry out.
6. Using a rolling pin, roll out the second part into a sheet 1 – 1.5 cm thick.
7. Using a glass, cut out circles on the entire plane.
Poke a hole in the middle of each circle using a chocolate egg shell.
People often wonder: why does a donut have a hole? The answer is simple and banal. Since the baked goods cook very quickly, remove the center just in case. What if it doesn’t have time to fry and ruins the overall impression.
8. Take a large baking sheet and cover the top with a sheet of parchment. Place the cut out wheels on it. Leave for 15 minutes so that the dough swells a little and rises.
9. Pour sunflower oil into a deep frying pan. Place on medium heat and heat up.
10. Carefully place several circles into the oil, as many as will fit. They fry on one side for literally 30 seconds. As soon as they acquire a beige tint, they should be quickly turned over. Fry on the second side for about 20 seconds. The cooking process must be monitored all the time; seconds count here. If you hesitate a little, the baked goods will turn out too dark.
11. Place the finished donuts on a sheet of parchment until they cool completely. When they become soft you can eat them.
12. Do the same with the rest of the dough. There will be a lot of baked goods.
The most delicious donuts are ready. They can be eaten straight, or sprinkled with powdered sugar or dipped. Condensed milk, sour cream or jam are perfect as a sauce.
Children, guests, loved ones will be simply delighted.
