5-HOUR DONUTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
• In a liquid measuring cup, combine the egg, egg yolk, buttermilk, milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
• Turn the mixer to medium-low speed. Slowly pour in the wet ingredients, then mix for 4-6 minutes, until the dough is smooth and supple.
• Grease a large bowl and a spatula with nonstick spray. Use the spatula to scrape the dough into the greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set somewhere warm to rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• While the dough is rising, make the pastry cream: Add the milk to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Add the egg and egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.
• Slowly add about ½ cup (120 ml) of the warm milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to increase the temperature gradually without cooking the eggs.
• Pour the egg mixture into the pot of milk and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the butter, vanilla, and lemon juice.
• Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool to room temperature for 30 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Once the pastry cream has cooled, stir in the rainbow sprinkles. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small round metal tip.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
• Punch the dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out to ½-inch ( ¼ cm) thick. Using a 3-inch round cutter, punch out donuts without holes. Reroll the excess dough once to cut out more donuts. You should have 6-8 total.
• Transfer the donuts to the prepared baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel. Set aside for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
• While donuts are rising, make the frosting: In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the mascarpone, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla, salt, and pitaya powder. Whip on medium speed until soft peaks form, 5 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Working in batches, fry the donuts in the hot oil until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Pipe the pastry cream into the center of each donut.
• Dip each donut in the frosting, then cover liberally with rainbow sprinkles.
• Enjoy!

CLASSIC GLAZED DONUTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the milk, sugar, and yeast, stirring to combine.
• In a separate medium bowl, add the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
• Add the milk mixture to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. Transfer to a large bowl and add the flour in thirds, stirring between each addition.
• Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth. Gently poke the dough with a finger--the dough should bounce back up from the indentation.
• Place the dough in a large bowl, and lightly coat the dough with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
• Let the dough rise in a warm place for an hour, or until doubled in size.
• Take the dough out and knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and repeat with rise overnight in refrigerator.
• Roll out the dough on a floured surface until ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
• Cut out the doughnuts and donut holes with a cookie cutter and piping tip.
• Melt enough shortening over medium heat to come up just 2 inches (5 cm) up on the side of a heavy frying pan. Heat the shortening to 375°F (190°C)
• Fry the donuts and donut holes for 45 seconds on each side, or until golden brown.
• In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, dry milk powder, vanilla extract and hot water until smooth.
• Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
• Dunk the donuts in the glaze or drizzle the glaze on top.
• Enjoy!

THE BEST OLD-FASHIONED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and the nutmeg in a large bowl until completely combined. Whisk together 2/3 cup of the buttermilk, the sour cream, eggs, yolks, 1 tablespoon of the vanilla paste and the oil in a medium bowl until completely combined. Fold the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients just until a soft and sticky dough comes together (do not overwork).
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and liberally dust with flour (about 1/3 cup).
• Scrape the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Dust your hands and the top of the dough with more flour, then gently pat the dough to 3/4-inch thick.
• Working on the baking sheet, punch out as many rounds as you can with a 3 1/4-inch cutter. Then use a 1 1/4-inch cutter to punch out the center of each round. Dip the cutters in flour before each cut to avoid sticking. Gather the dough scraps and gently re-roll without overworking the dough. Repeat cutting until all the dough has been used (you should have 8 doughnuts).
• Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and line a second rimmed baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Fit a large heavy pot with a deep-fry thermometer and pour in oil to a depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high until the thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Fry the doughnuts in batches until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the wire rack and let cool slightly. Fry the doughnut holes until deep golden brown, about 90 seconds per side. Transfer to the wire rack and let drain for 1 minute. Then transfer to the paper-towel lined baking sheet to cool for 10 minutes before glazing. (This two-step process gets a lot more oil out of the doughnuts than using only one method.) Repeat with the remaining dough, making sure the oil returns to temperature between batches.
• Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, the remaining 6 tablespoons buttermilk, the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla paste and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until the glaze is smooth and the consistency of honey; add more confectioners' sugar or buttermilk if necessary.
• Dip each doughnut into the glaze on one side (we like the craggy side, it has more texture for an appetizing appearance), letting the excess drip back into the bowl, then return it to the wire rack. Toss the doughnut holes in the glaze to coat completely and return to the wire rack. Let the glaze set for 10 minutes before serving.

15-MINUTE DONUTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with 2 inches (5 cm) of canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (180°C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, salt, and ground Szechuan peppercorns. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the biscuits to ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. Using a 2-inch (5 cm) round cutter, punch a mini donut hole out of each biscuit. Discard the remaining dough or save for another use.
• Working in batches, add the donut holes to the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes on one side, until golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes more, until cooked through and golden brown all over. Use a wire skimmer to transfer the donut holes to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let drain for a minute, then transfer the warm donuts to the sugar mixture and toss well to coat.
• Enjoy!

CRISPY AND CREAMY DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water, and let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
• In a large bowl, mix together the yeast mixture, milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, and 2 cups of the flour. Mix for a few minutes at low speed, or stirring with a wooden spoon. Beat in remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough into a greased bowl, and cover. Set in a warm place to rise until double. Dough is ready if you touch it, and the indention remains.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and gently roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Let doughnuts sit out to rise again until double. Cover loosely with a cloth.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in hot water one tablespoon at a time until the icing is somewhat thin, but not watery. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slide doughnuts into the hot oil using a wide spatula. Turn doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Fry doughnuts on each side until golden brown. Remove from hot oil, to drain on a wire rack. Dip doughnuts into the glaze while still hot, and set onto wire racks to drain off excess. Keep a cookie sheet or tray under racks for easier clean up.

DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Heat the milk until it is warm but not hot, about 90 degrees. In a large bowl, combine it with the yeast. Stir lightly, and let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, beat the eggs, butter, sugar and salt into the yeast mixture. Add half of the flour (2 cups plus 2 tablespoons), and mix until combined, then mix in the rest of the flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add more flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time, if the dough is too wet. If you're using an electric mixer, the dough will probably become too thick to beat; when it does, transfer it to a floured surface, and gently knead it until smooth. Grease a large bowl with a little oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl, and cover. Let rise at room temperature until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface, and roll it to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out the doughnuts with a doughnut cutter, concentric cookie cutters or a drinking glass and a shot glass (the larger one should be about 3 inches in diameter), flouring the cutters as you go. Reserve the doughnut holes. If you're making filled doughnuts, don't cut out the middle. Knead any scraps together, being careful not to overwork, and let rest for a few minutes before repeating the process.
• Put the doughnuts on two floured baking sheets so that there is plenty of room between each one. Cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until they are slightly puffed up and delicate, about 45 minutes. If your kitchen isn't warm, heat the oven to 200 at the beginning of this step, then turn off the heat, put the baking sheets in the oven and leave the door ajar.
• About 15 minutes before the doughnuts are done rising, put the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, and heat it to 375. Meanwhile, line cooling racks, baking sheets or plates with paper towels.
• Carefully add the doughnuts to the oil, a few at a time. If they're too delicate to pick up with your fingers (they may be this way only if you rose them in the oven), use a metal spatula to pick them up and slide them into the oil. It's O.K. if they deflate a bit; they'll puff back up as they fry. When the bottoms are deep golden, after 45 seconds to a minute, use a slotted spoon to flip; cook until they're deep golden all over. Doughnut holes cook faster. Transfer the doughnuts to the prepared plates or racks, and repeat with the rest of the dough, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the oil at 375. Glaze or fill as follows, and serve as soon as possible.
