By  | 

You might have eaten every kind of bread there is, or porridged yourself to boredom. If you’re like some of us, this lockdown time is starting to get a bit boring, especially in the kitchen. Worry no more, Crystal Newman to the rescue! A couple of days ago she posted this recipe for homemade donuts that’s worth a try in case you’d like to switch it up.

“I found this recipe online and tweaked it a little bit here and there,” she added, before dropping the recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 500g all purpose flour
  • 250ml whole milk
  • 60g melted margarine/butter
  • 10g instant yeast
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 5 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • Lemon zest (1 lemon)
  • Sunflower oil for frying
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon rum (optional)

Directions:

  • Warm the milk and mix in the sugar till fully dissolved. Then add the yeast while it’s still warm.
  • Sift your flour in to a bowl and add the salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with the vanilla essence and rum (optional). Then add the warm (not hot!) melted margarine/butter and mix together.
  • Next, add the milk to your wet ingredients and whisk well.
  • Slowly fold in the flour and mix together until you have a smooth dough.
  • Leave in the bowl and cover with a kitchen towel for 45 minutes in a warm area.
  • Place your risen dough on a floured surface and roll out to about an inch in thickness. Cut out circular shapes and stick your finger gently in the center of each one.
  • Cover the shapes with a kitchen towel for another 15 minutes.
  • Fry in oil that is not too hot starting with the side pressed in and cover. Turn over after 1-2 minutes and fry the other side uncovered till golden brown.
  • Place on a tray with paper towels to drain the excess oil and sprinkle with icing sugar.
