EASY DONUT RECIPE How To Cook That Ann Reardon Donut Recipe
Welcome to How To Cook That
And today we are making some yummy donuts.
And what you'll need is some plain or allpurpose flour, salt, sugar, yeast this is
instant dried yeast that I am using.All the recipe quantities are on this weeks
blog post, there's a link in the descriptionbelow.
2 eggs, milk, vanilla and some butter or margarine.
Melt your butter or margarine and then warmyour milk, now it should feel the same temperature
as your finger, it shouldn't feel hot it shouldn'tfeel cold it should feel the same temperature.
In the bowl of your mixer with the dough hookattached add all of your wet ingredients,
followed by all of the dry ingredients. Youdo not need to pre-activate your yeast when
you're using instant yeast you can just addit straight into the mixture which makes it
easy.
Turn it on low speed to mix and it will forma sticky looking dough.
You want to leave the mixer running for about5 minutes so it can just knead the dough through
and develop the gluten.
While it is kneading turn your oven on tovery very low so it is barely even on. If
you have an oven thermometer then you canuse that here. We want to make somewhere warm
for our donuts to rise nicely but we onlywant it to be 31-35 degrees c or that is 88-95F
this is where the yeast works the fastestso it will make the donuts rise the quickest.
Just so you know anything under 4C the yeastis dormant, nothing is happening. Under 22C
the growth is really slow so it will takea long time for the donuts to rise.
23-30 is OKAnd as I said the fastest yeast growth you'll
get is between 31-35CAnything above that it will be slowing down
and over 55 all your yeast is dead you'vekilled it so your donuts won't rise at all.
Take some of the dough out of the mixer andstretch it out thin enough so you are trying
to make a window that you can see the lightthrough. While you are doing that if it is
breaking like this it is not ready, put itback in the mixer and knead it for longer.
4 minutes later try again and you can seehow much more easily that is stretching out
now. So you should be able to stretch it thinlike this so we can see light through it and
it is not breaking. That's perfect it's ready.
Grease a bowl and place the dough in it andcover it with a double layer of plastic wrap.
And place it somewhere warm to rise. If youlive somewhere it is warm and your room is
that temperature then you don't need to useyour oven. But today it is raining and cold
outside so we are using the oven to make itthe right temperature.
While it is rising lets make the glaze. Meltthe butter and mix in the icing or powdered
sugar and the cocoa powder.If you want it to be shiny you can also mix
in a little corn syrup or glucose syrup.
Then add a little hot water to thin it down.While it is warm it should be this thick consistency.
It is going to go thicker once it cools butwe'll just warm it up again in the microwave
when we need it just before we dip our donuts.
For the vanilla glaze place some icing sugarin a bowl then add the water and the secret
ingredient the white marshmallows.Place that whole thing in the microwave for
30 seconds to melt those marshmallows. Stirit around and again if you want it shiny add
some glucose syrup. Just about a teaspoonwill be plenty.
If you want cinnamon donuts mix together sugarand cinnamon in a bowl.
Now lets check our dough, that has doubledin size and risen nicely. Punch it down.
Then sprinkle some flour onto your work surfaceand tip out the dough. Give it a very gently
knead, you do not want to over work it atthis stage. Roll it out to be about as thick
as your thumb.
Then take a donut cutter and dust it in flourthen use it to cut out shapes. If you don't
have a donut cutter you can use two circlecutters, or you can just cut circles and forget
about the hole shape in the middle you don'thave to have it.
Take the shapes and place them onto a sheetof baking paper, I have greased my baking
paper with a little oil just to make surethey don't stick here at all.
Now put them back into a warm place to rise.Now to cook our donuts we just need to fry
them in some oil, and we want to heat theoil up to 375F or 190C. When you have oil
heating on the stovetop don't walk away andleave it because it will keep getting hotter
and hotter. If you over heat your oil it willfirst get to smoking point and there will
be like this thick noxious smoke and thenit will get to flash point which is where
it bursts into flames all on its own.If that does ever happen do not tip water
on it. To show you what would happen if youddid we have a fireman at our house today.
We will use just a little cup of water, itis just plain tap water nothing else.
And try to put out the fire by tipping onthe water onto it.
I felt that heat from behind the camera. Ohmy goodness
If that was inside the house your kitchenwould now be on fire.
And if you were standing right nest to thesaucepan I would hate to think you would have
horrific burns.
Do not ever pour water on an oil fire,and do not try this at home.
To put out an oil fire what you should dois put on an oven glove and put the lid on
to starve it of oxygen. Then leave the lidon until it has cooled right down otherwise
it will just ignite agin when you open itup.
So to cook our donuts we want the oil to be375F or 190C
Check your donuts have risen and place themin the oil (this is fresh oil obviously we
haven't used the one that has been on firebecause it has a horrible taste to it.). Once
one side is cooked flip them over and youcan see there they are just puffing up and
they are light and fluffy.Place them on some baking paper to drain.
Then while they are still warm dip in yourcinnamon and sugar or
dip one side into your glaze just on the oneside
If you want sprinkles add them on right awaybefore they grey sets. I'm adding grated white
chocolate to some of mine you can get creative.Do the same with the vanilla glaze.
Then serve them up and they are light andfluffy inside.
Our fireman today takes 6 months leave withoutpay each year to go over to Indonesia with
his family and help people living in poverty.They are setting up surf retreats over there
to create an ongoing income for communitydevelopment projects that they are running.
There is a very high child mortality rateand people are living on less than $1 a day.
