Question

HELP!! DO ANY OF YOU ALL KNOW HOW TO MAKE DOUGHNUTS I WOULD BE GRATEFULL IF YOU COULD TELL ME THANKS

Answer 1

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 teaspoon salt
1 whole egg
1/3 cup sugar (11 teaspoons)
2 1/2 teaspoons melted butter
1/3 cup lukewarm water
2 1/2 teaspoons (1/2 pkg yeast)
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder (opitonal)

Add yeast to lukewarm water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Boil milk and let it cool, until lukewarm in temperature.

Mix the lukewarm milk and salt with the yeast mixture.

In a blender, combine the melted butter, cinnamon, sugar, oil, and egg together, then blend for a few minutes until smooth.

Add yeast and milk mixture, blend for few seconds.

Add flour a little at a time, so the dough will be nice and smooth.

Once all the flour is added, blend until it forms a nice smooth dough, if a little too sticky add some more flour (but not too much).

Once the dough is ready, set it aside for a while until it rises.

Roll out the dough to about 2 cm thickness or 1/2 an inch, and cut with a donut cutter.

Once cut, set it aside, let it rise again, until it looks plump (about doubled in bulk).

Then deep fry in hot oil (about 365°F).

Once the donut is in the hot oil, let it fry for a few seconds and then turn it over to prevent it from cracking on the other side.

Fry until golden brown; remove using a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper or paper towels.

Once cooled, you can add your favorite topping, sugar glaze, cinnamon sugar, or simply powdered sugar.

Answer 3

I have a really easy recipe, but it's not from scratch.

Start with a can of biscuits, whatever kind you like.

Use a small circular cookie cutter, or the cap of a soda bottle, to cut a hole in the center. Then flatten doughnut with hand slightly.

Heat vegetable or canola oil in a frying pan on the stove (or use a deep fat fryer) to medium heat. You'll know it's ready when just a bit of the dough is inserted and it sizzles.

Brown on one side and then turn. They can brown pretty quick, so watch them close.

Drain on paper towels. You can glaze them with powdered sugar that has a tiny bit of milk and vanilla extract added, mix until smooth and pour over hot doughnuts. They are delicious. Enjoy! :)

Answer 4

Believe it or not; get a can of buttermilk biscuits. Separate them and use a small round cutter to make the holes. Deep fry the ball and donuts until golden brown. Drain and coat with cinnamon sugar, icing, powdered sugar, whatever. They are amazing and very easy.

Answer 5

I think its just normal batter with a bit more sugar added-- because I did Yorkshire puddings once and they tasted like doughnuts

Answer 6

buy a doughnut maker. it gives you the recipes and they are easy to make. I have one and the kids love them.
If you make two lots of batter and add chocolate powder to one lot, you can add a little of both in the maker and two tone doughnuts.
sprinkle with sugar. mmmmmmm

Answer 7

I'm really curious! Why do you need to make them? Just buy them and pretend! I don't believe anyone actually makes their own donuts. How do you get the jam or custard or whatever to stay runny?

Answer 8

THEY ARE MADE WITH A BREAD DOUGH AND DEEP FRIED THEN ROLLED IN SUGAR I MAKE MY DOUGH IN MY BREAD MACHINE.
