Making Donuts at Home
The daughter and niece of one of my former students show how to make donuts at home. THANKS, Tim!
If you liked the story video from yesterday, (7/24/2020) Arnie the Donut, then this is the PERFECT opportunity for YOU to make donuts.
ACTIVITY: Making Donuts:
You need:
ADULT help.
A Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups (176g) all-purpose flour(scoop and level to measure)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) buttermilk*
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp (42g) melted butter
- 3 - 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- Preheat oil in a deep saute pan or pot over medium heat.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together buttermilk and melted butter.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined.
- Gently roll dough into 1/2 tbsp size balls.
- Carefully place dough balls into the preheated oil (frying about half of them at a time) and fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Use a spider to transfer to paper towels, then let drain and roll in sugar.
If you’d like to cover the donuts in classic vanilla glaze* then you could mix (and spoon over):
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
*For chocolate glaze just add 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder to the mixture above.
