Old Fashioned Donuts

Kalau kat Jepun, donut ni memang biasa nampak kat kedai Mister Donut. Dia tak lembut cam donut biasa...Rangup di luar tapi lembut di dalamnya. Maisya buat ni tak berapa menjadi sebab terap nipis sangat dan rekahannya dia tu pun tak berapa nampak.

'Old Fashioned' Donut

Ingredients:
30 g butter
60 g brown sugar ( you can also use white sugar )
1 egg
vanilla essence
200 g flour
1 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt

How to make it:
1. Beat the butter and sugar and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla essence.Mix well.
2. Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Gradually pour it into the butter mixture and using a spatula, mix it together until just combined.
3. Gather the mixture to form a dough and let rest in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes. NOTE: DO NOT knead the dough. That will cause the donuts to be stiff after being fried, and not crusty.
4. Roll out the dough about 1.0-1.5cm thick and cut out using donut cutter. Using a toothpick, draw a circle on the surface of each donuts.
5. Deep fry until golden brown.
NOTE: You can coat the donuts with melted chocolate but remember to let the donuts cool off first.

tips dari Mister Donut utk mendapat rekahan yg cantik : doh kenalah dlm keadaan sejuk dan minyak mestilah panas. Perubahan suhu bila doh yg sejuk dimasukkan kedalam minyak yg panas tu akan menghasilkan rekahan yg cantik.
