DONUTS

INGREDIENTS:
•All purpose flour
•Sugar powder
•Salt
•Butter
•Yeast
•Oil
•Chocolate/sugar crystals (for the dip)

METHOD
•Mix all purpose flour, little butter, pinch of salt, sugar powder, yeast and knead it into soft dough.
•Roll it and make a hole in between. The hole should be big enough giving room for the dough to rise up.
• Leave it aside for half an hour.(*) Do not leave it aside for a longer time.
•Pour oil in a pan and heat it. Once it is heated drop the donut dough and deep fry it. Keep the flame in low or medium so that it cooks even both inside and out.
•For Chocolate donuts, melt chocolate in a oven and dip one face of the donut in the hot chocolate.
* For sugar donuts dip it in sugar crystals and in similar way you can dip them either in maple syrup, dates syrup, honey etc..

(*)The dough is kept aside for half an hour so that the yeast ferment-ates and the dough rises up. This method is called prooving or proofing.
