Doughnuts

Ingredients

Dough

• 1 cup warm milk
• 4 tbsp butter
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp instant yeast (1 sachet)
• 3 1/2 cups flour, sifted
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Oil for frying

Toppings

• Biscoff spread
• Nutella
• Powdered sugar and cinnamon
• Chocolate chips melted with butter in the microwave
• Jam for filling
• Icing: 2 tbsp milk with 1 cup powdered sugar and a pinch of vanilla

Method

1. Add the butter, yeast and sugar to the warm milk, stir and cover until the yeast foams. Add the eggs and vanilla, then the flour with the salt gradually until you have a cohesive dough (slightly sticky is fine). Cover with plastic in a warm place and rest for an hour or until doubled.
2. Roll out to 1.5 cm thick, cut with a round cutter and a small one for the center, and rest another 20 minutes.
3. Fry in hot oil, then lower the heat until golden, spooning oil over the tops so they cook evenly.
4. Prepare the toppings: Nutella, chocolate chips melted with butter, or Biscoff. For powdered sugar and cinnamon, brush the doughnuts with butter first so it sticks. You can also fill them with a piping bag.

Notes

Roll the dough on baking paper and cut the paper under each ring so the shape holds when transferring to the oil.
