Now on with the frying…
Sugar Coated Donuts
Prep. time: 2 hours
Frying time: 2 minutes
Deep Fryer Temp. : 180’C
Difficulty: Easy
Makes; 20 pcs. Donuts & 2o pcs. Donutholes
Good for 12 crew
You will need;
500 grms. all purpose flour/plain flour
1 Tbsp. instant yeast
1/4 Tbsp. (3/4 tsp.) fine salt
6 Tbsp. sugar white granulated
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened {kept at room temperature for an hour or softened inside the microwave for few seconds.}
2 pcs. med. size (50grms/each) fresh eggs
3/4 cup water, room temperature{a little more or less}
*For frying:
Deep Fryer w/ built in thermostat.{or a deep pan w/ candy thermometer}
a lot of clean/clear vegetable oil{amount will defend on the size of your deep pan}
*For the coating:
2 cups granulated white sugar
Direction;
Place flour, yeast, salt and sugar in the dough mixer, run on slow speed for a minute to blend ingredients. Add the softened butter, eggs and water. Increase speed to medium-high and knead the mixture for 10-12 minutes or until smooth and elastic. A good mixture will have blisters on the dough surface.
Either brush the bowl or rub the dough surface with vegetable oil and place it back into the bowl, cover with plastic film wrap or a damp cloth and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until double in bulk. Punch down dough.
[Here’s how I do it] *Sweet Dough Recipe on the link is double in amount.
Prepare large tray and cover it with flour. Place sweet dough on a floured working table, use rolling pin to flatten dough. Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness {or slightly thicker than a pencil/pen}. Use donut cutter to cut-out dough. Do not discard leftover/scrap dough from cut-out donuts, combine and repeat procedure to cut more donuts from it. Transfer donuts to the floured tray and let the donuts proof at warm area {32-38’C}. Let the donuts rise for 30-60minutes.
Preheat oil on deep fryer to 180’C and test fry a donutholes, it should be golden brown on one side in less than a minute. Turnover to cook other side. Fry the remaining donuts in batches, use bamboo skewer/chop stick to handle donuts while frying. Donutholes cooks faster than donuts, fry them separately. Drain excess oil on kitchen paper towels.
Place the sugar for coating in a bowl or container with lid. Put the donuts inside the sugar bowl/container. Cover and shake until donuts are evenly coated with sugar.
Serve and enjoy it with your favourite blend of coffee !!!

It’s Friday ! =)
If you’ve been on my blog on several occasions, You might find me giving some jokes to lighten up your day.
Just in case your week haven’t been going so well or maybe your boss is giving you hard time at work.
Well, I myself just had a very bad days this past week. I was really upset with the decision of my kids school principal.
So, here’s the JOKE of the Week!
– A fifteen year old Amish boy and his father were in a mall.
They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.
The boy asked, “What is this Father?” The Father (never having seen an elevator) responded, “Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don’t know what it is.”
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, an old lady in a wheel-chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened, and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed, and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially.
They continued to watch until it reached the last number, and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blonde stepped out.
The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son… “Go and bring your mother here…” 🙂

I bet these are so much healthier than the donuts that are store bought. Yummy too I’m sure. For some reason when you have posts about pastries like this, I can’t help but yearn for Churros, Nino! It’s like you get my longing for the foods of my childhood. 🙂
