twisted doughtnuts

i got a lot of massive request about the twisted doughnuts i made the other day. well, can't blame everyone, it was super delicious! my husband who is counting his calorie intake ALL THE TIME even can't resist on these doughnuts. sent some to my friends and they loved it! i was thinking of filming a video about how to make these doughnuts but i guess i will do that some other time.

also, i was literally just playing around the ingredients, since baking take some time, hours of rising and such-- i came up of a way to make a dough that would only take a little time to rise. :)

list of ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
  • 200 ml milk
  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • canola oil for frying

 

twisted doughnuts

 

directions:

  1. whisk eggs and milk together. set aside
  2. combine sugar, flour, baking powder
  3. create a well in the middle of the flour mixture, then add the egg mixture and mix
  4. transfer the dough mixture into a clean surface, and start kneading ( i suggest using a stand mixer if you have one because this dough is a little hard to work on, it needs patience )
  5. slowly start adding the pancake mix and keep kneading until no longer sticks on your hand
  6. transfer the dough into a clean surface
  7. cut the dough into small pieces, i was able to make 15 pieces
  8. roll a dough into a rope and twist (if the dough is sticky, add more flour in the surface area. or in my case, i kept adding oil into my palm while working on a dough)
  9. transfer all the twisted dough into a baking pan and let it sit for 20 minutes
  10. heat cooking oil in a large pan over low
  11. drop the twisted dough into the frying pan and fry until golden brown (this needs your attention, you do not want your doughnuts to burn)
  12. move the doughnuts from the frying pan and drain on the paper towel
  13. coat the doughnuts with sugar
  14. and serve!

hope you enjoy this recipe! and talk to you soon!
