Step cooking
Knead the dough
- In a bowl for kneading dough, break one chicken egg at room temperature. Beat the egg with a whisk until a homogeneous yellow consistency is obtained.
- We add 80-100 g of granulated sugar there, and then we thoroughly mix the components, trying to dissolve the sugar grains as much as possible. If desired, 40 g of sugar and 40 g of honey can be added to the dough, then the donuts will have a wonderful honey aroma and an incomparable floral taste.
- Pour 250 ml of kefir into the resulting mixture. For this recipe, it is best to use stale kefir. We recommend buying this component 3-4 days before the planned donut preparation.
- On top of kefir, add 1 pinch of salt, 5 g of soda and 30 g of butter. The oil must first be melted, and then slightly cooled to a warm state.
- Beat all components well with a whisk until a homogeneous, viscous mixture is obtained.
- Separately, sift 390-410 g of premium flour, and then add it in small portions to the cooked egg-kefir mass.
- As soon as the kneading of the dough with a whisk becomes too laborious, sprinkle the table with flour and transfer the sticky and sticky dough to it.
- We continue kneading manually until the dough stops sticking to our hands, while periodically pouring the remaining flour.
- In the finished dough we make a small depression, after which we pour 60 ml of vegetable oil into it.
- Gently stretch the dough in different directions, and then mix the butter inside the dough.
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it acquires an elastic, soft and porous structure.
We make donuts
- The table top is lightly greased with vegetable oil. In no case do not roll donuts on flour, otherwise they will burn during frying. Divide the dough in half.
- Then we roll one of the pieces into a layer with a thickness of not more than 1 cm.
- The donut cutting nozzle is well lubricated with vegetable oil so that the dough does not stick and keeps the product neat.
- We form donuts from the total amount of dough.
Fry products
- We put a large-diameter frying pan on a stove, and then pour vegetable oil into it about 1 cm. We set the fire below average and heat the oil to a hot state.
- Gently spread the donuts on the hot oil and fry them on both sides until golden brown. We put finished products on a flat plate covered with a paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
- Once the donuts have cooled, we transfer them to a clean container and generously sprinkle with powdered sugar.
