How to make homemade donuts

Making homemade donuts is not as complicated as you think. Prepare the tableware and seasonings first. Then start following the steps and remember to control the heat well.

1. Prepare all the ingredients

2. After the butter has softened at room temperature, add granulated sugar and salt. Beat with a whisk until smooth. Become slightly fluffy

3. Add milk powder and stir well. Add the eggs slowly in 3 batches, stirring evenly each time before adding the second time.

4. The stirred butter paste looks like this

5. Dissolve the yeast powder with 1/2 of the water in the recipe

6. Pour the flour into the butter paste, then add the yeast water and the remaining 1/2 of the water.

7. Knead into dough. Put the dough on the chopping board and knead it vigorously, or use a dough mixer. Keep kneading the dough until it reaches the stage where it can be stretched into a thin film. Then cover the dough with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature to ferment until it is 2.5 times its original size.

8. Line the baking tray with baking paper and sprinkle with a layer of dry flour.

9. After the fermented dough has been deflated, continue to rise at room temperature for 15 minutes. After proofing, roll the dough into a sheet with a thickness of 1.1 cm. After kneading, let it rise for another 10 minutes.

10. Use a donut mold to cut into donut shapes

11. Place the cut pieces on a baking tray covered with flour. The remaining dough can be kneaded into a ball again, and after it has risen for 15 minutes, it can be rolled out and cut again.

13. When the donuts have fermented, pour oil into the pan. The oil cannot be too little, it must be kept at a certain depth so that the donuts can float in the pan. Adjust the amount of oil according to your own pan.

15. Place the fried donuts on a rack to drain the oil and let cool. After cooling, sprinkle with sugar for decoration, or you may not.

16. After cooling, you can also put it on a kitchen towel to absorb excess grease (this step can also be omitted)
