Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz all purpose flour
- dash of salt
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp boiling water
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 oz butter, cold to room temperature
- 1 tsp dry active yeast
- enough oil to cover the bottom few inches of a wok or deep fryer
- 1 1/2 oz sugar
Instructions
- In a large measuring jug, combine milk and boiling water. Add a teaspoon of sugar and yeast. Stir gently, then leave it in a warm place for the yeast to activate.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until it resembles crumbs.
- Add the lightly beaten egg and yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Mix into a smooth dough, about 5 minutes.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured counter and knead for 5 to 10 minutes until springy. Place back in the bowl, cover, and let rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
- Once risen, divide the dough into 4 pieces, stretch each into a rope, cut into 1-inch strips, roll into balls, and place on a baking tray.
- Cover the doughnut holes with a cloth to rise while heating the oil to 375°F.
- Fry the doughnuts in batches until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels or a wire rack before glazing them while still warm.
