Recipe's preparation

Method

1. Place milk & butter in bowl, and mix on 37 degrees, speed 1 for 2 minutes.

2. Add in egg to milk mixture and mix speed 4, 5 seconds.

3. In this order - Add in Yeast, then flour, then the caster sugar, nutmeg,1/4 tsp cinnamon & the salt last. Mix on speed 6 for 6 seconds to combine, then knead for 3 minutes

4. Place dough in a greased bowl and cover and place in a warm place to prove for 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size.

5. Once the dough is proved, knock down onto a floured surface and hand knead for 1 min and cut dough in half then half again so you will have 4 equal portions.

6. Roll each portion into a 20cm long log, then cut each log into pieces and roll each piece into a ball ( you should get roughly 6-8 balls per portion, they will increase in size when cooked by about 50% see my before and after pictures) and place on piece of baking paper and let prove for a further 15 minutes.

7. While the dough balls are proving, warm up your deep fryer, or oil in a frypan/saucepan (I used solidified oil which is an animal fat that you find in the butter section at the supermarket), to 175 degrees.

8. Drop in 3-4 balls at a time and cook for 1-2 mins or until nice and brown/golden. Mine turned over on their own in the oil, but you may need to turn them manually

9. When cooked, take out and roll in sugar, then using a piping bag with the long nozzle (Or an old sauce bottle cleaned out and filled with jam), fill the donuts with jam

These taste Just like the donuts you get from the markets and fast food vans etc. Enjoy!
