THE BEST HOLIDAY DONUTS WITH HOMEMADE APRICOT MARMALADE

INGRIDIENTS

• 1 kg of sharp flour
• 70 g of fresh yeast
• 120 g of foamy mixed butter
• 7 egg yolks
• 50 ml of warm milk
• 40 g of sugar
• 3 tablespoons of rum
• 1 bag of vanilla sugar
• ½ tablespoon of lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• oil
• apricot marmalade
• icing sugar

PROCESS

For best results, prepare the donuts in a warm, draft-free room. It is also a good idea to warm up all cooking utensils and necessary ingredients to room temperature in advance.

Pour the flour into a bowl and heat it in a preheated oven. Then make a hole in the warmed flour and crumble the yeast into it, pour a little warm milk and add a spoonful of sugar. Cover the bowl and let it rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes.

Place egg yolks, remaining sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, lemon juice and rum in a small bowl. Mix all the ingredients into a smooth mixture.

Add softened butter, beaten egg yolks and a little warm milk to the rising yeast and mix slowly. It is best to use an electric mixer with spiral whisks. While mixing, gradually add the remaining milk. Mix until you get a pliable dough. Shape the dough into a loaf, sprinkle it with flour, cover it with a warm cloth and let it rise for at least 40 minutes. Shape the risen dough into balls with your hands or roll out the dough on a floured surface and use a glass to cut out small circles. Place these on a floured board and turn them over after a few minutes. Add the oil and heat it to about 170 degrees. The oil will be heated enough when bubbles appear on the stove. While frying, make sure that the oil is not too hot. Carefully lift the donuts and place them in the oil. Cover the pan with a lid while frying. Allow the donuts to be golden brown, then turn them over and wait until they are browned on the other side. This time, do not cover the container with a lid. Place the fried donuts on paper towels to drain. Fill the still lukewarm ones with apricot jam, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

CARDIGAN DONUTS WITH NUTELLA

INGRIDIENTS

• 1 dl of milk
• 600 g of white wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons of white sugar
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons of yeast
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• sunflower oil
• icing sugar
• Nutella

PREPARATION

Mix softened butter, sugar and lukewarm milk in a bowl, and add 300 grams of flour to the mixture. Put the remaining flour in another container and mix it with yeast. Then mix both mackerel and add vanilla extract and egg. Pour 1 deciliter of lukewarm water and knead well to get a smooth dough. Brush it with a drop of oil before letting it rise in a warm place for two hours. After the elapsed time, knead it and let it rise for another hour. After 60 minutes, roll it out to one centimeter thick and cut out ten circles from the dough, which you leave to rise for one hour. Then heat the oil to 180 degrees Celsius and fry the donuts in it (in a deep fryer). Fry them for about 2 minutes on each side. When they are cool, use a syringe to inject Nutella into them. All that follows is a sprinkling of powdered sugar, and the donuts are ready. Have a good run!

Place egg yolks, remaining sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, lemon juice and rum in a small bowl. Mix all the ingredients into a smooth mixture.

Add softened butter, beaten egg yolks and a little warm milk to the rising yeast and mix carefully. While mixing, gradually add the remaining milk. Mix until you get a pliable dough. Shape the dough into a loaf, sprinkle it with flour, cover it with a warm cloth and let it rise for at least 30 minutes. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to the thickness of your finger and cut out small circles with a cookie cutter. Place these on a floured board and make sure they don't touch each other. Add the oil and heat it to about 170 degrees Celsius. The oil will be heated enough when bubbles appear on the stove. Carefully place the donuts in the oil. Cover the pan with a lid while frying. Allow the donuts to be golden brown, then turn them over and wait until they are browned on the other side. This time, do not cover the container with a lid. Drain the fried donuts on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

For the cream, boil 500 ml of milk in a bowl. Mix the egg yolks, half the sugar, flour and 100 ml of milk well and add to the boiled milk. Stir constantly and set aside when you have a pudding-like mixture. Beat the egg whites, the second half of the sugar and the vanilla sugar into snow and carefully mix it into the hot "pudding". Fill the donuts with a syringe, or you can also cut them and spread vanilla cream between the two halves.

WHOLE GRAIN CHOCOLATE CARDIGAN DONUTS

INGREDIENTS (FOR ABOUT 20 DONUTS)

Dough:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• half a teaspoon of salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• half a cup of chilled black coffee
• 2 eggs
• 6 tablespoons of butter
• 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• ¾ cup cooled melted chocolate

Frosting:

• ½ cup butter
• 1/3 cup whipping cream
• 1 ½ tablespoons of corn syrup (you can replace it with sugar syrup, 100 ml of water per 100 g of sugar)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 142 grams of chopped dark chocolate
• 2 cups sifted powdered sugar

PREPARATION

Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Put the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl and mix well. Set aside. Place the buttermilk, coffee, slightly beaten eggs, butter, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract in another bowl and mix well as well. Mix the dry mass into this mass and mix until a homogeneous dough is formed. Stir in the melted chocolate. Line the baking sheet with baking paper and spread the dough on it in the form of large piles (if you have a baking sheet for American donuts, grease it and fill it up to ¾). Bake the donuts for 18 to 20 minutes (you can also check if the donuts are cooked with a toothpick). Remove them from the pan and let them cool completely.

Prepare the glaze by placing all the ingredients except the powdered sugar in a small saucepan and placing over medium heat. Stir until the butter and chocolate are melted and a smooth mixture is formed. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar. Pour the mixture into another shrimp (or a heat-resistant container) and place this on top of the second shrimp, which should have about 5 centimeters of boiling water in it. Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and drain a bit to get rid of the excess glaze. You can sprinkle the donuts with chocolate crumbs. Let them stand for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Have a good run!
