How do you make donuts? What are the necessary ingredients?

Answer 1

Baked Raised Donuts
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon margarine
1/3 cup very warm water
1 pkg. yeast
1 egg, beaten
2 1/3 cup sifted flour
1 teaspoon lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup melted margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon

Scald milk. Stir in sugar, salt and oleo. Cool to lukewarm. Measure very warm water into large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast in water; stir until dissolved. Stir in lukewarm milk mixture, egg and 1/2 of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in lemon rind, nutmeg and rest of flour to make soft dough. Turn dough on a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place until double in bulk (45 minutes). Punch down. Turn out on floured board. Roll out 1/3-inch thick. Cut with floured donut cutter. Place donuts on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in warm place for 1/2 hour. Brush tops and sides with some of the melted oleo and bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and dip in remaining oleo, then in 1/2 cup sugar into which some cinnamon has been mixed. Serve warm. Makes 1-1/2 dozen.



Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
2 pkg yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)
1-1/2 cup lukewarm milk (scalded then cooled)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup shortening
5 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil

Dissolve yeast in warm water in 2 1/2-quart bowl. Add milk, salt, eggs, shortening and 2 cups flour. Beat on low speed scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise in warm place, until double, 50-60 minutes. (Dough is ready when indentation remains when touched.) Turn dough onto floured surface; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough 1/2-inch thick with floured rolling pin. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Cover and let rise until double, 30-40 minutes. Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees. Slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick surface); drain. Dip the doughnuts into creamy glaze set on rack then when slightly cooled spread chocolate glaze on top. Can dip in sprinkles or other toppings after chocolate if desired.

Creamy Glaze:
1/3 cup butter 2 cups powdered sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla 4-6 tablespoons hot water

Heat butter until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.

Chocolate glaze:
1/3 cup butter 2 cups powdered sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla 4-6 tablespoon hot water 4-oz milk chocolate or semi-sweet chips

Heat butter and chocolate over low heat until chocolate is melted; remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in water 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.

Pour vegetable oil into a pan approximately 1 inch deep and heat to a minimum of 350 degrees. Make small size balls ( 1.2 inch) and fry for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.

Answer 3

depends on what type you want to make. Raised (Krispy Kreme type) or cake (typical powdered or chocolate covered). Raised donuts are made from a yeast raised dough that is similar to a bread dough but sweeter, then deep fried. You can use packaged pizza dough but just add 1 cup sugar and don't let dough over rise or they will just be full of grease. Cake donuts are as they are named made from a thick cake batter. You can use common cake batter in a box. Just reduce the water by a quarter cup. Both recipes have been used but need to be adapted to your personal taste. I spent 2yrs in an old world bakery and made approx. 2500 to 5000 donuts a day by hand.

Answer 4

1 can of biscuits
1 bottle of cooking oil
You open the biscuits and poke a hole in the middle of the biscuit.
after the oil is really hot, you drop the biscuit in the oil and when it turns golden, flip it over to the other side.
then remove it from the oil and let it cool
you can make icing by putting 1 cup of powedered sugar in about 3 Tbs of water or milk and roll the donut around in it. You can put sprinkles on them or decorate them with icing or some cinnamon and sugar

Answer 5

Take those refridge biscuits like you get in the 4 packs or whatever and use something small to cut the center out and deep fry them. Then roll them in cinnamon and sugar. Or glaze with a mixture of milk and powered sugar. Yummy! Use the insides that you've cut out to make doughnut holes!

Answer 6

If you don't want traditional homemade donuts, and you have canned biscuits and powdered sugar and cooking oil,
One way is to take canned biscuits and flaten a bit and cut hole out of middle with something that will cut the hole out. and fry these in oil, will be done when float to top of oil. Then roll in powdered sugar and eat. You can fry the holes you cut out too.

Answer 7

/3 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 tbsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. lemon extract
3 eggs
2 c. flour

Cream shortening, butter, sugar, salt, vanilla, and lemon; mix in eggs and 2 cups of flour while creaming.
Mix 2 cups warm water with a little sugar. Add less than 1/2 cup dry yeast; let set.

Add 2 cups milk and 3 quarts (12 cups) of sifted flour to, and mix with above ingredients. Then add yeast and warm water mixture. Add water as needed and keep working and folding dough mixture keeping it rather moist.

When ready to put aside to rise approximately 15 minutes or place in covered container or in plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.

When ready roll out dough 1/2 inch thick, and cut donuts out setting them aside on tray in warm place to rise to double their size. Then fry at slightly less than 350 degrees.

Variation to above. Cut donut open and twist both ends, let rise and fry, cover with cinnamon and sugar.

Make icing with powdered sugar, vanilla and milk; add cocoa for chocolate.

Answer 8

Answer 9
