Yesss.. This is my very first homemade doughnut and i think it is pretty good .Well done me :)I tried quite a few recipes until i find a perfect one for me which is White on Rice Couple's one and as a chocolate lover,of course used a chocolate glaze on doughnuts..
Ingredients
270 ml milk
50g sugar
1 pkg active dry yeast
140 g unsalted butter
2 large eggs beaten
500 g all purpose flour
For chocolate glaze
80 g unslated butter
150 g dark chocolate
- Gently warm your milk to 115F,add sugar and yeast ,mix till the sugar dissolve .
- Gently melt your butter and add it to beaten eggs but be careful butter should not be so warm otherwise it will cook eggs.
- Put butter into an electric mixer with a dough hook.Turn mixer on low speed and add yeast mixture to the butter.Mix for a couple of minutes until well combined.
- Add the flour to the dough ,mix well and transfer the dough to a well oiled bowl.Cover bowl with a plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator.Leave the dough at least 8 hours or overnight.
Roll and cut
- On a well floured surface roll the doughnuts out to 1/2,1/3 inch thick
- Using a 3 inch cutter,cut as many rounds out of the dough as you can.Gently pick up the rounds and place on a well floured sheet pan
- Using a 1 inch cutter,cut out the center hole.
- Cover doughnuts in a large tea towel and place ina warm place .Allow doughnuts to raise at least an hour.
Fry the doughnuts
- In a large pot ,pour enough oil.Heat to 375F .
- gentle pick up and ease donuts into oil and cook each side until light brown.
- Remove from oil with a slotted spoon.Drain on several layers of paper towels carefully turning over every 5 seconds,to try and blot as much oil out as possible.
For the glaze
- Melt butter and chocolate together in Ben Mari style.
- Dunk each doughnut into the glaze and miracle !..
