Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 4 tsp active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup caster sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tbsp butter softened
  • ½ cup caster sugar mixed with 2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, and caster sugar.
  • Add the eggs and knead for 10-15 minutes until a smooth dough forms.
  • Once the dough passes the window pane test, add the butter and knead until fully absorbed.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rest for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions, rolling each into smooth dough balls.
  • Proof the dough balls for another 30-40 minutes until doubled in size.
  • Heat oil to 190°C and fry the doughnuts until golden on both sides.
  • While still hot, roll the doughnuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough passes the window pane test before adding butter for better texture.
  • Fry the doughnuts in small batches to maintain a consistent temperature.
