*Perforated spoon
*Paper towel
METHOD
1. Pour the flour, yeast and salt in the medium size mixing bowl.
2. Mix together and use the spatula to make a little well in the middle.
3. Pour the sugar into the milk and stir till the sugar dissolves.
4. Pour the mixture into the middle of the flour mixture and rinse any sediment into the batter.
5. Add the butter and whisked egg.
6. Mix well till you have a smooth well- formed paste.
7.Coat both your hands and the flat surface with flour and begin kneading the dough on the flat surface.
8. After achieving a stretchy ,non sticky dough, return it to the mixing bowl and cover with a napkin.
9.Leave the dough for about 30 minutes and open the napkin. The dough should have doubled in size.
10. Return it to the working surface and begin kneading again till it’s fully smooth and stretchy.
11. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to
thickness of about 2-3mm.
12. Cut the dough into circular shapes with the doughnut cutter.
13. Repeat for the entire rolled out dough.
14. Put vegetable oil in the deep fryer or pot and heat up for around 2 minutes, then drop your circular cut out dough into it.
15. Deep fry for 5-8 minutes, till the colour changes to golden brown.
16. Remove the doughnuts with a perforated spoon and place on a paper towel to soak up excess oil.
17. Sprinkle with sugar.
Enjoy!
NOTE :
* If you don’t have doughnut cutter, use a round cup to cut out the dough and the cover of bottle water or any soft drink (plastic cover) for the round middle circles.
*You can know if the oil is hot enough for
frying by dropping the cut out piece into it. If it floats, then it’s ready to be fried.
