Ingredients
All purpose flour 2 cups ,11/2 - 1/2)
Corn flour (Corn starch) – 1 tbsp
Active Dry yeast – 1/2 tbsp
Milk – 1/2 cup
Sugar – 4 tbsp
Butter, unsalted 50 gms
Salt 1/2 tsp
Vanilla essence 1 tsp
For the Chocolate Glaze-
Dark chocolate, chopped – 50 gms (I used 1/4 cup
dark chocolate chips)
Powdered sugar – 3 tbsp
Cocoa powder – 2 tbsp
Milk – 1/4 cup approx.,
Instructions-
1. Pulse the sugar in a mix jar once or twice to
make it super f ine and keep aside. Reserve 1/2
cup f lour
separately. Grease a bowl with oil and keep it
ready.
2. The butter should be cold and hard. Cut it into
small cubes and keep it ready.
3. In a microwave safe bowl, mix together milk and
vanilla essence and microwave at high f or 30
secs.
This heat would be perf ect. You can also do this
on stove top.
4. In a mixing bowl, mix together 1-1/2 cups f
lour, corn f lour, yeast, salt and f ine sugar.
Make a well in
the center and pour the warm milk. Spread your f
ingers and mix it together. It will become a big
lumpy
mass.
5. Add the cubed butter and work it into the
dough. The warmth of the milk and your hands are
enough
and it will easily merge with the dough.
6. The dough will be sticky at this stage. Add the
remaining 1/2 cup f lour and knead well f or 4-5
minutes.
Place the dough in the greased bowl. Cover and let
it rest f or 1 hour till it doubles in volume.
7. Af ter an hour, def late the dough. Dust your
work area with f lour and place dough on it. I
used a shallow plate f or this. Using a rolling
pin, roll the dough into 1/2 inch thick slab.
8. Using a donut cutter, cut out the shapes. As I
did not have a cutter, I used a cup, held it
upside down and cut out a bigger circle. Then used
a sof t drink bottle cap to cut out a
hole in the middle of the circle. Gather the
edges, once again, roll them and continue till
all the dough is used up. I got only 3 holes at
the end.
9. Transf er the cut donuts to a greased baking
tray and arrange them side by side
leaving enough space in between. Cover with a
thick cloth and let it rest f or another 20
minutes.
10.Preheat the oven at 200 C (400 F) and bake for
10 minutes or golden brown. Take it
out and brush melted butter all over the donuts. I
just rubbed a hard cube of cold
butter all over the top which did a better job.
Let it cool f or 5 minutes.
For the Chocolate Glaze/Sauce-
11. Af ter you place the donuts in the oven, start
making the glaze. The timing will be perf ect.
12. In a small sauce pan, place all the
ingredients f or the glaze and heat it till the
chocolate melts, while
stirring continuously using a balloon whisk until
it resembles a sauce. This should take just 2-3
minutes. Take of f stove and let it rest till it
becomes warm and you can see it thickening
slightly.
To Glaze-
13. Transf er the chocolate glaze to a shallow
plate or bowl. Holding your Donuts upside down,
dip the
surf ace in the glaze and pull it up. Let the
extra sauce dribble and turn your hand up in one
swift
movement and place the Donuts on a plate f or the
glaze to harden. Place colored sprinkles or silver
balls on the glaze.
