recipe of doughnuts-How did you make this
Here's a recipe for making delicious doughnuts from scratch:
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup whole milk, warmed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil, for frying
Optional toppings: powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, chocolate glaze, or vanilla glaze
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, warmed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Mix the wet ingredients properly in the dry ingredients, then keep stirring till a dough is formed. Use your hands to knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Put that dough in a little oiled bowl and then cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or a cookie cutter to cut out doughnuts and holes. Re-roll any scraps of dough to make more doughnuts.
Place the doughnuts and holes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a clean kitchen towel then let them rise for 25-30 minutes.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat at least 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F.
Carefully drop a few doughnuts into the hot oil at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry each doughnut for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack to cool.
Once the doughnuts are cool, you can add your desired toppings. For powdered sugar, simply dust the doughnuts with a generous amount of powdered sugar. For cinnamon sugar, mix together some cinnamon and sugar and roll the doughnuts in the mixture. For chocolate or vanilla glaze, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or cocoa powder (for chocolate glaze) until smooth. Dip each doughnut in the glaze and let it set on a wire rack.
Serve the doughnuts immediately and enjoy! They're best when fresh and warm, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
