Everyone loves doughnuts, and everyone will love these sugary cinnamon dusted doughnuts – warm, sweet and so delicious!
Ingredients
- 3 teaspoon (10g) instant yeast
- 1/4 cup (60ml) lukewarm water
- 80 gram butter
- 1 cup (250ml) milk
- 1/4 cup (55g) caster (superfine) sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 3 cup (450g) plain (all-pupose) flour
- canola oil, for deep-frying
- 1 cup (220g) caster (superfine) sugar, extra
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine yeast and the water in a small bowl, stir until yeast is dissolved.
- Place butter and milk in a small saucepan over high heat; stir until butter is melted. Cool until lukewarm.
- Place yeast mixture, butter mixture, sugar, salt, egg yolks and sifted flour in a large bowl; beat with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a soft sticky dough. Cover bowl; stand in a warm place for about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently until just smooth. Roll dough out until 1cm thick. Using a floured 8cm round cutter and a floured 2.5cm round cutter, cut rounds from dough, removing the centres with the smaller cutter. Repeat with remaining dough, re-rolling when necessary. Place rounds on baking-paper-lined oven trays. Stand for 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan or wok until it reaches 150°C on a candy thermometer (or until the base of a wooden spoon bubbles when placed in the oil). Deep-fry doughnuts three at a time for 2 minutes each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
- Toss doughnuts immediately in combined extra sugar and cinnamon; serve doughnuts warm.
