Donuts

Donuts can be a little tricky to make but well worth the trouble. Donuts are deep-fried in oil and then dipped in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar or topped with a glaze.

Instructions

Step 1
  • Crumble down the yeast in a bowl. Melt the butter in a saucepan and pour into the milk. Heat to max 37 ° and pour it over the yeast.
Step 2
  • Add sugar, salt, eggs, lemon and most of the flour. Work the dough and let it rest covered for about 40 minutes.
Step 3
  • Put the dough on a floured workbench. Roll it out into a rectangle, about ½ cm thick.
Step 4
  • Take out round sections with a measure, about 10 cm in diameter. Take out a small hole in the middle. Let rest, covered for about 30 minutes.
Step 5
  • Heat the oil to about 180 °. Fry the rings in batches 1 minute on each side. Take them out of the oil with a hole spoon and let them drain on kitchen towel.
Step 6
  • Stir together icing sugar and water, until a thick smooth glaze is formed. Colour with any food colouring. Swirl or spread on the glaze or dip them in caster sugar whilst still warm.
Enjoy!
