DOUGHNUT PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Tom Holt | 400 pages | 07 Mar 2013 | Little, Brown Book Group | 9781841497808 | English | London, United Kingdom Crispy and Creamy Doughnuts Recipe | Allrecipes I like to use 'active dried yeast' to make the doughnuts. The granules only become active again when mixed with a warm liquid. Then the doughnuts are cut out, placed on a baking sheet, and left to rise again until almost doubled about 45 - 60 minutes. Then we are going to deep-fry the doughnuts so you will need a heavy bottomed saucepan Dutch Oven or deep fryer. Use a flavorless oil like corn, canola, or a vegetable oil. Peanut oil is also very good. Heat the oil, over medium-high heat, to degrees F degrees C this will take about minutes. It's important to maintain that temperature as at this temperature the oil seals the outside of the doughnut so it doesn't soak in. You see, if the oil is too hot the doughnut will get too brown and crisp on the outside before the inside has time to be cooked through. Conversely, if the oil is not hot enough, the doughnut will absorb too much of the oil and the texture will be soggy and greasy. So clip a candy thermometer to the inside of your pan so you can constantly monitor the temperature of the oil, adjusting the heat as necessary. If you don't have a candy thermometer, test to see if the oil is ready by placing a small cube of bread into the hot oil. If it browns in about seconds, the oil is at the correct temperature. Of course, always be very careful when deep frying. Never leave the hot oil unattended and have a fire extinguisher close by. Add the butter and, with a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut or rub the butter into the flour mixture until you have coarse crumbs. Stir in the sugar and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the lukewarm milk and lightly beaten egg and stir until you have a ball of dough. Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, if necessary. Then transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough is no longer sticky and is smooth and elastic about five minutes. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large lightly greased bowl, turning once. Then place the dough on a lightly floured surface, and gently punch the dough to release the air. Place the doughnuts on a lightly floured baking sheet, lined with parchment or wax paper. Gather up the scraps, roll, and cut out remaining doughnuts. You can keep the donut holes to fry separately, if you like. Loosely cover the doughnuts with plastic wrap lightly butter or spray the plastic wrap with a non stick vegetable spray so the doughnuts won't stick and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled about minutes. Carefully place the doughnuts into the hot oil, about 2 to 3 at a time do not over crowd. Fry each side until golden brown, about seconds per side. The doughnut holes will only take about 30 seconds per side. Carefully remove the doughnuts from the hot fat with the end of a wooden spoon, tongs, slotted spoon, bamboo chopstick, or Chinese skimmer. Place on a baking sheet lined with clean paper towels. After a minute, roll the doughnuts in the sugar. Let the oil return to degrees F degrees C before adding more doughnuts. These doughnuts are best freshly made.

Anyone who knows yeast will automatically know that. You can't have your yeast mixed with anything warmer than lukewarm. I would not change a thing, including adding more sugar as some have recommended. If you have a really sweet tooth, okay, but the glaze makes them sweet enough for me and my family. To avoid your doughnuts absorbing the grease, simply make sure your grease is hot enough. I alway heat my oil for at least five minutes or so on medium high to ensure this and then turn it down to medium before cooking with it. NOTE: Use cooking oil with a high smoke point to avoid fires! I will definitely make these again. Read More. Rating: 4 stars. I really liked this recipe, the donuts tasted very good. However, I omitted the half cup of warm water and sprinkled the yeast directly into the milk. Reducing the liquid allowed the dough to develope much better with less flour. To keep the donuts from "deflating" after they have risen, place them on a square of waxed paper that has been sprayed with Pam or cooking oil. When transferring to pan for frying, pick up waxed paper carefully by the edges and gently let the donut slide into the hot oil. Any attempt to move the donuts with a spatula resulted in the donut "falling" and having a heavy texture when cooked. Cook only light brown and turn, as any more cooking results in a dry donut. These were fun to make but a little labor intensive. Sherise Montie. These are a little time consuming but are worth the effort!! First of all, the recipe made almost double the amount stated, but that may have been due to my using a glass instead of a regular donut cutter, then a tiny round cookie cutter for the hole. I never showed him the recipe or any reviews, or even told him they were supposed to taste like KK's. So I'm thinking they MUST taste a least a little bit like them if that's what someone says after taking just one bite. I also noticed that when I cooked them at as recommended by a previous reviewer they came out a lighter colour and slightly more tender than cooking But really, whatever temp you cook them at, you really can't go wrong. I've made this recipe 3X so far and I have yet to screw it up. I think the only way you could mess it up is if you have the yeast or the oil at the wrong temp Other than that, this recipe is pretty fail proof Glaze doesn't have to be anything more than 10x sugar and a little milk and perhaps a splash of vanilla.. I bake for a local bakery and make doughnuts every weekend for the farmers' markets trust me the glaze doesn't need to be complicated. BTW I dip the glazed doughnuts while wet into coconut and they are a big hit!! They are so good that they are to die for and they were gone as soon as I glazed them. One note fry them at about at I burned some of them. Jan Mowbray. I have never visited the doughnut shops these doughnuts are named after and now I'll never have to when I can produce such fabulous product right in my own home! I saved some time by placing ALL ingredients at once in my mixer and let the dough hook do the kneading. First rising takes slightly less than an hour. Glazing: I threaded the doughnuts onto chopsticks to drain, than placed on rack to cool. The doughnuts tasted really ahem crispy and creamy but were slightly heavier than the store-bought ones which is, I think, more the fault of the flour than the recipe. If you follow the directions carefully the doughnuts will turn out delicious. For perfect dough rising: heat your oven to degrees F for one minute, let the door stand open for a few seconds then place the covered dough inside. When you are bored of making cakes, ice creams, Indian sweets, and other desserts, make doughnuts to add variety to your desserts menu.
