A doughnut is a type of fried dough confectionery dessert  food.  This type of dessert or sweet snack is favourite in many countries —

These are typically ring-shaped, with or without a hole,  glazed with various types of toppings like sugar , chocolate and maple syrup.

I have made three types of ring doughnuts today — cinnamon ,chocolate and sugar with edible yellow colour glaze.

Star Ingredient :

Flour

Main Ingredients :

• 1 tablespoon  teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 cup of castor sugar
• 1 cup whole  warm milk
•  (320 to 400 grams)  maida or  flour
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 egg
• 2 tablespoons (30 grams) superfine sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick or 2 ounces) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature and cut into cubes
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
• 2 teaspoon of cocoa powder for chocolate glaze
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• Edible yellow food colour with sugar glaze

Method :

In a medium bowl, combine yeast and warm milk and stir to dissolve the yeast , keep it aside for 15 min or until frothy .

After 15 mins , take another large bowl , mix in the flour, yeast, egg, milk , vanilla, salt and castor sugar  and incorporate all the ingredients and make a dough .  cover it with a cling film and rest it in a warm place fo 2 to 3 hours or until the dough has doubled in size.

On  a floured work surface ,knead  the dough again for 15 min  and again keep it aside in a buttered bowl for 30 min. With a rolling-pin gently roll out to 1/2 inch thickness then cut with a floured doughnut cutter . Let the doughnut sit for another 15 mins in order to rise again.

Heat oil in a deep fryer and slide the ring doughnut two at a time. Turn the dough as they rise into surface. Fry each doughnut on both sides until brown. Keep them on a wire rack  in order to drain off the excess oil.

Preparation of Glaze :

Chocolate Glaze :

Melt butter on a  sauce pan over  medium heat . Stir in the castor sugar and vanilla until smooth , take  from gas. Mix in cocoa powder.  Blend it in smoothly . chocolate  glaze is ready. Set aside.

Yellow Glaze :

Repeat the same procedure with additional yellow edible food colour instead of cocoa powder.

Or else you can dust in a layer  of castor sugar  mixed  with cinnamon powder.

Dip the doughnuts onto the glaze while it is hot.  Your Ring Doughnut is ready to eat.  🙂
