Steps To Prepare Fried Mini Donuts

I have divided the procedures into small and basic steps because it would be easier for you to understand and do as directed!

Equipment needed for Fried Mini Donuts

Ingredients

Here is the list of all ingredients that you will need!

  • Four cups of all-purpose flour
  • Two and a half teaspoons of active dry yeast
  • One tablespoon of granulated sugar
  • Just a pinch of salt
  • One-fourth cup of softened butter
  • One large egg
  • A cup of whole milk

Step One

First thing to note, when preparing mini donuts, you need to make the dough first! So, take a large mixing bowl, and mix your flour, yeast, sugar, salt, egg, butter, and milk. Mix it all up nicely!

If it does not get adequately mixed, under those circumstances it will not get its appropriate texture! But, after giving it a nice mix, you are ready for the next step!

Step Two

Secondly, now that the mixing is done and the dough has become soft, you need to let it rise for an hour! Place it on the table, cover the bowl with a piece of cloth, and let it be like that for an hour. It puffs up the dough.

Once done, jump to the next step!

Once it gets all puffed up, take a cutting board. Sprinkle some flour on the top! Then take a knife, and divide the dough into twelve pieces!

Sprinkle some extra flour on the board, then shape each piece of dough into a form of a long stick. Then give the sticks the shape of a dough, or you can prepare them in any design you prefer. When done, you are ready to move to the next step!

Step Five

I bet you have prepared your donuts into excellent shape, but it is time to fry them up. So, take a frying pan, place it on the stove, and pour some oil.

Let the oil warm up to the desired temperature. Make sure to set the flame to medium; once you start seeing tiny bubbles start by gently putting the shaped dough into the pan. Fry it until golden brown.

Make sure you fry only a couple of donuts at a time. Having too many in the pan may overburn them.

Expert Cooking Tips

  • You need to ensure that you mix all the ingredients nicely
  • If you are not confident with the frying, fry only one at a time
  • Do not over-fry, and it can ruin the textures

Serving Idea

Generally, people can enjoy just the donuts, but if you are willing to add something more, you can add some beverages.

Beverages act like an excellent palate cleanser and help you enjoy every bite of the donut.
