Buttermilk Donuts

Makes: approx. 15

2 teaspoons dry yeast

 

1 ¼ cups buttermilk, warmed

¼cup caster sugar 4 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon salt

¼cup light olive oil 2 eggs, lightly beaten

1.In a small bowl, whisk the yeast into the warmed buttermilk with 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Mix well and stand in a warm place for 10 minutes or until the mixture begins to froth.

2.Place the remaining sugar, flour and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and stir through oil, eggs and yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

3.Place mixture onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.

4.Place dough in a bowl. Cover and stand in a warm place for about 40 minutes or until dough has doubled in size.

5.Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead again for about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Roll dough out to about 1 ½ cm thick. Use a 9cm cutter to cut rounds and a 3cm cutter to cut holes from the centre. Place donuts onto a tray lined with baking paper and cover with plastic wrap. Stand in a warm place for about 40 minutes.

6.Using the Deep Fry function heat oil to 170ºC. Cook donuts in batches, turning once during cooking, until golden in colour.

7.Drain donuts on absorbent paper. While hot, toss in cinnamon sugar.

Tip: To make your own cinnamon sugar, combine 1 cup caster sugar with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.

Tip: Don’t forget to cook the ‘donut holes’ for extra mini-treats.
