Umamah requested that I make some doughnuts today. Infact she had been asking for a while now. I just wasn't too sure I can make them. But I thought I'd give it a try today. And was I glad I did!
The texture is soft and fluffy. Just perfect!
So what are you waiting for?
Lets check the ingredients.
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 1/2 tbs mayonnaise
1 1/2 tbs margerine
1 tbsp powdered milk
1 egg slightly beaten
140 ml warm water
3 tbsp sugar
4 gms or 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
Castor sugar for dusting the doughnuts.
Process:
1. Put all the ingredients in a bowl.Use a fork and stir everything untill it forms in crumbs.Then add the warm water.Mix well.Cover the bowl with cling wrap and put it in a warm place and let it rise for about 1 hour.
2. When the dough has risen punch out the air.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and gently roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Let doughnuts sit out to rise again until double. Cover loosely with a cloth.
4. Heat oil in a deep-fryer. When the oil is hot slow down the heat to medium.You dont want to burn the doughnuts.
5. Slide doughnuts into the hot oil using a wide spatula. Turn doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Fry doughnuts on each side until golden brown. Remove from hot oil, to drain on a wire rack. Dip doughnuts into the castor sugar while still hot, and set onto wire racks to drain off excess..
