The men in my family love doughnuts, so I have been searching for a good recipe for quite a long time and finally got one from bakingabout.com. There are generally two types of doughnuts, cake doughnuts and raised doughnuts that are made from yeast. The recipe Iam sharing today is a cake doughnut. It is extremely easy to make.
Cake doughnuts.
Ingredients
 |
| without chocolate sauce |
Flour – 2 cups and little extra
Baking powder – 1 tspMilk -1/4 cup
Sugar – 3tbsp
Butter – 3 tbsp
Egg- 1
Cinnamon pdr – ½ tsp
Oil - for frying.
For dipping
Chocolate – ½ cup
Cream- ½ cup
1. Mix together flour,
baking pdr, sugar, cinnamon pdr in a mixing bowl. Take butter and mix it in
this flour mixture until its comes to sand like grainy consistency.
2. Now warm the
milk.
3. Make a well in
the middle of the flour mixture and add the milk and the beaten egg. Mix well.
4. At this time
the dough will be quite sticky. Place the dough on your clean kitchen top and
keep on adding little flour and mixing till the dough no longer sticks to your
hands and you can shape it into a soft ball.
5. Though the
original recipe doesnot say this but I rested the dough for about 20 mins.
6. Dust your
kitchen top with flour and roll the dough into 1 inch thickness. If you have a
doughnut cutter you can use it to cut the doughnut dough. I used one small bowl
and a small bottle cap to cut into doughnut shapes. Do remember to dust the
cutters with flour before cutting.
7. Heat oil in
pan for deep frying. Fry them till they are golden brown on both sides. Drain them
on a paper towel and cool them to room temperature before dipping them in the
chocolate sauce.
8. For the sauce
grate chocolate and put it in a microwave safe bowl
for 10- 15 seconds on high power or till the chocolate melts.Add cream to the melted chocolate and microwave for 5 secs and the sauce is ready.
9. Dip the
doughnuts in the chocolate sauce on one side and let it rest on wire rack for
the excess chocolate to drain. If you are not a chocolate fan just sprinkle
some icing sugar on the doughnut and its ready to be eaten!
