In this video, I’ll show you how to make the most delicious homemade donuts that are golden on the outside and soft on the inside. Whether you like them plain, glazed, or filled, this easy-to-follow recipe will become your new favorite!
🥄 Ingredients:
✓ 1 medium potato, peeled
✓ 1 egg
✓ ¾ cup warm milk
✓ 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
✓ 3 cups flour
✓ 1 tablespoon sugar
✓ 1 teaspoon salt
✓ 1 lemon Zest
✓ 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
✓ 4 cups cooking oil
For the filling and coating
✓ ½ cup granulated white sugar
✓ 1 tablespoon cinnamon
or
✓ 1 cup filling of choice (optional), such as pastry cream, jam, or Nutella
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potato: Peel the potato, cut it in half, and boil it in water until soft (about 20-25 minutes). Once cooked, mash the potato thoroughly to avoid lumps.
2. Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, make a well in the flour. Add the yeast, sugar, and warm milk (around 110°F). Mix gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
3. Make the Dough: Add salt, the egg, melted butter, and mashed potato to the flour mixture. Knead the dough until it is smooth, soft, and no longer sticky. The dough should be pliable and not stick to your hands.
4. Let the Dough Rise: Grease a bowl and the dough with a bit of oil to prevent sticking, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
5. Shape the Doughnuts: Once the dough has risen, lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick. Use a doughnut cutter or a round cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) and a smaller cutter (about 1 inch) to cut out the center. Place the cut doughnuts on parchment paper.
6. Rest the Doughnuts: Cover the doughnuts with plastic wrap and let them rest for 30 minutes to rise slightly.
7. Fry the Doughnuts: Heat oil in a large pan or deep fryer to 340°F (about 2 inches deep). Carefully lift each doughnut using parchment paper and place it in the hot oil. Fry each side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Avoid crowding the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
8. Coat the Doughnuts: Mix ½ cup sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Roll each doughnut in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.
9. Fry the Doughnut Holes: Fry the small doughnut holes using the same method as the larger doughnuts, for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Toss them in the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture in a plastic bag, seal, and shake well.
10. Fill the Doughnuts (Optional): To fill doughnuts, use a skewer or chopstick to make a hole and hollow out the center. Use a piping bag filled with your choice of filling (like jam or Nutella) to fill each doughnut.
👉 Pro Tips:
1. Monitor the oil temperature carefully to ensure even frying; too hot will burn the donuts, and too cool will make them greasy.
2. Allow enough space between donuts while frying to prevent them from sticking together.
3. Get creative with your toppings and fillings—chocolate glaze, sprinkles, or even a simple dusting of powdered sugar!
