Heavenly Donuts

It’s donut season. And who doesn’t love a good donut? There is nothing like a fresh donut. Donuts are always best when eaten on the same day they are made. You can freeze the leftover dough and fry fresh.

2h 6
Medium Vegetarian Pescatarian Parve

Contains: Gluten, Wheat, Egg

Directions

Prepare the Dough

  1. Mix all the ingredients in a mixer for about 10 minutes.

  2. Cut parchment paper squares (about six-inch squares). (Those parchment paper squares will prevent the balls from losing their shape, as you won’t have to touch them before dropping it into the oil).

For the Lolly Donuts

  1. Form small balls of dough, each weighing approximately 1/2 ounce, and

    place them onto the parchment squares.

For the Larger Donuts

  1. Form balls, each weighing approximately two ounces. Place each ball onto the prepared parchment square.

For the Donuts with a Hole

  1. Roll out your dough to 1/2-inch thickness. With a large round cookie

    cutter, cut large circles. To create the hole in the middle, with a

    small round cookie cutter, cut a small circle in the center of each

    donut. Place each donut separately on a prepared parchment paper.

To Fry

  1. Allow all the ready dough balls to rise for about one to one and a half hours.

  2. Heat the oil and drop each donut into the oil along with the

    parchment paper. As soon as it releases, remove the parchment paper with tongs. Fry each donut for about one to two minutes (the smaller

    donuts will need less time).

  3. Remove and drain on a towel paper.

About

Tips:
Kids may be too young to fry their own donuts, but topping and
filling them on their own will make eating the donut a way more fun
experience. Watch them smile as they take a bite of their own creation.

Make sure to have a fun
selection of toppings such
as sprinkles, sugar crystals,
lotus crunch, razzle mix, and
any other toppings of your
choice.

You can choose any fillings. We chose the following three classics: jelly, custard, caramel cream.

You can also offer chocolate and vanilla glaze for kids to dip their donuts into after they've filled them. Then, they can add toppings to their hearts' content.

Is brandy the trick for the doughnuts to taste like the store bought?
