Little chocolate filled donuts

Makes 24

INGREDIENTS

2 teaspoons dry yeast ½ cup warm milk

2 tablespoons caster sugar

3 tablespoons, melted

2L cups plain flour, plus extra for kneading

2 eggs, beaten

2oz dark chocolate bits

Chocolate icing

1 stick + 1 tablespoon

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 cup icing sugar ¼ cup milk

Method

1.Combine the yeast, milk and half the sugar into a large bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes or until bubble appear on the surface.

2.Add butter, flour, eggs and remaining sugar. Using a butter knife, cut mixture until a soft sticky dough forms.

3.Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 minutes or until smooth. Place into an oiled bowl, cover and stand in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Punch risen dough and tip back onto a floured surface, knead again for 2–3 minutes so that the dough is smooth and very elastic. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Push 2 chocolate bits into the center of each ball and roll to fully enclose; set aside for 30 minutes to rise.

4.Fill deep fryer with 4 quarts of oil. Set deep fryer to DONUT/FRESH setting.

5.Place basket into lowered position and carefully drop 4 or 5 balls into oil; cook, turning over half way. Remove basket and turn out donuts onto paper towel. Repeat with remaining balls, making sure to reheat oil between batches. Cool donuts completely.

6.To make the icing, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat and stir in cocoa. Bring to the boil for 30 seconds and remove. Stir in icing sugar and milk and beat until smooth and glossy.

Dip one side of donuts into icing and cool on a wire rack until set.
