TWISTED DOUGHNUTS

Doughnuts that are fluffy and soft, perfectly fried, and covered with sugar.

INGREDIENTS

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons butter

2 1/4 teaspoons active yeast

3 tablespoons white granulated sugar

1 cup milk, at room temperature

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oil for frying

2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for coating

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl, take the flour, whisk it and set aside.

Melt butter in a small saucepan. When the butter is melted, add the milk then remove from the heat.

Then add eggs, sugar and salt and mix until dissolved then add yeast. Leave the yeast for 5 minutes. You will see bubbles.

Pour mixture into the flour and mix with a wooden spoon or a spatula. Mix and then use your hand until smooth and form into a round ball and cover with a plastic wrap. Let dough sit in a warm place for an hour until it double its size.

After an hour, punch the dough to deflate air and knead until smooth. Cover again and let it sit again in a warm place for another 30 minutes.

Uncover the dough and knead for a few minutes and form into a ball. Divide the ball into 2 then divide equally into 16 pieces.

Take a piece of dough and starting in the middle, roll the dough into a string form. When rolling dough, roll the other upward and the other hand downward to form a tension. Pick up dough and twist making sure the ends are sealed.

Let the dough rise for another 20 minutes, then roll up the other side and let it rest for another 10 minutes.

Heat a large amount of oil in a deep skillet and fry doughnut until golden brown each side.

Strain the doughnut and coat them with sugar. Do this while doughnuts are still hot.
