Ingredients
1 packet of dry or chemical yeast
1/2 cup warm low-fat milk (125 ml)
1 tablespoon of sugar (15 g)
2 cups of flour (400 g)
1/2 teaspoon salt (5 g)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon melted and cooled butter (15 ml)
Vegetable oil for frying (as necessary)
Jam to taste (strawberry, peach, blackberries, plums, etc.)
Powdered sugar
Preparation:
- To begin, in a small bowl, mix the yeast with the milk and sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
- Later, in a blender glass, combine the flour and salt. When the yeast is ready, put it in the glass.
- Add the egg and butter. Next, start mixing the ingredients until you get a soft but not sticky dough. (Add a little extra milk or extra flour, as needed.) Knead until smooth and elastic.
- Next, transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let it rest until it doubles in size, approximately 2 hours.
- Next, knock the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few seconds.
- Using a lightly floured rolling pin, gradually flatten the dough to a thickness of 1 centimeter.
- Next, cut into 3 pieces with a lightly floured cookie cutter. Cut again until you have several 1 centimeter thick strips.
- Roll the strip and form the donuts, joining one end to the other, avoiding the strips being too large or long.
- It would be ideal if they were a size that you can use as a ring. It is better that they are small than not very large, since they can fall apart.
- Finally, place the donuts on a lightly floured baking sheet, leaving space between them. Cover lightly with a dry kitchen towel. Let sit in a warm place until doubled in size, about 20 minutes.
- Using a deep fryer (or fill a pot with 3 fingers of vegetable oil), fry the donuts, a few at a time, until golden brown, turning frequently, using a slotted spoon.
- Remove the fried donuts onto a cooling rack. Once they rest, fill a pastry bag with jam. Insert the tip of the pastry bag into the end of each donut and pipe about 1-2 teaspoon of filling into them.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar or layer with sugar icing. Бачити менше
