CINNAMON SUGARED POTATO DONUTS
Makes 14
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon dried yeast
1 cup warm milk
¼ cup caster sugar, plus extra ½ teaspoon
½ cup cool mashed potato
2 cups plain flour
Pinch salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup caster sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
METHOD
1. Combine yeast, milk and
½ teaspoon of sugar into a large bowl.
Set aside for 5 minutes or until bubbles
appear on the surface.
2. Place remaining sugar, mashed potato,
flour and oil into a large mixing bowl
and pour in yeast mixture.
3. Using a butter knife, cut mixture until
it forms a sticky dough. Turn out onto a
lightly floured surface and knead for
5 minutes or until smooth. Place into an
oiled bowl, cover and stand in a warm
place for 30 minutes or until doubled in
size.
4. Punch risen dough and tip back onto a
floured surface, knead again for
5 minutes so that the dough is smooth
and very elastic.
5. Roll out dough to approximately 1 ½cm
thick. Use a 9cm round cutter to cut out
circles. Use a 3cm round cutter to cut
holes from the centre of the rounds to
make rings. Place rings onto a baking
tray lined with non-stick paper. Knead
remaining dough and repeat with cutters
until dough has been used up. Set aside
for 10-15 minutes or until risen.
6. Fill deep fryer with 4 litres of oil. Set
deep fryer to DONUTS/FRESH setting.
7. Place basket into lowered position and
carefully drop 3 rings into oil, cook
turning over half way, or until golden.
Remove basket and turn out onto paper
towel.
Dust warm donuts with combined suga r and
cinnamon and serve hot or cold.
