Instructions

Step 1

The recipe yields 12 donuts.

Step 2

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 3

2. In a mixing bowl, whip the egg with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Tip: Use a hand mixer for best results.

Step 4

3. Add the melted butter to the mixture and stir well. Then, pour in the milk while continuing to stir.

Step 5

4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a dense but stringy dough forms.

Step 6

5. Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. Tip: Chilling the dough makes it easier to roll out and cut.

Step 7

6. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface until you achieve a thin layer, then cut it into circles using a donut cutter or a round cookie cutter. Tip: Flour your cutter to prevent sticking.

Step 8

7. Arrange the dough circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the donuts for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Faq

  • What type of flour is best for making donuts?

    All-purpose flour works great, but you can also use bread flour for a chewier texture.

  • Can I use any kind of milk for this recipe?

    Yes, you can use dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, or any other milk of your choice.

  • How do I know when the dough has reached the right consistency?

    The dough should be dense yet slightly sticky and stringy when pulled apart.

  • What’s the secret to getting that perfect golden color on my donuts?

    Ensure your oven is preheated to 200C (392F) and bake until golden brown, usually about 15-20 minutes.

  • How can I make my donuts extra light and fluffy?

    Chilling the dough in the fridge helps to relax the gluten, which makes the donuts fluffier.

  • Can I freeze the donuts for later?

    Absolutely! Freeze the donuts after they've cooled. When ready to eat, simply reheat in the oven.
