way of making
Step 1: Build the foundation of the dough: Place the butter at room temperature in a bowl and knead with a whisk until creamy. Add the sugar in three parts and mix to incorporate air until the whole mixture is white and fluffy.
Add the beaten eggs to the bowl in several batches to prevent separation, mixing well each time. When the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, add the milk and mix further.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, and mix with a rubber spatula to cut the mixture into small pieces. The secret of the “fluffy texture” is to stop just before the flouriness disappears and not to knead too much.
Process 4: Dough rest】When the dough has come together, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This is an important preparation period to allow the flour to evenly absorb moisture and prevent the dough from losing its shape when fried.
On a floured board, roll out the doughnut to a thickness of 1 cm, and then use a doughnut mold. After removing the hole in the center, gently place the doughnut in deep-frying oil heated to 170°C (350°F). Fry both sides for a total of 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and cool on a net.
[Process 6: Ritual of coloring] Dip the completely cooled doughnuts in chocolate melted over a pot of hot water. Before the chocolate hardens, decorate with nuts, arazan, and dried fruits.
This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points
The most important characteristics are the number of times to mix and the temperature control of the dough. Cocoa dough becomes hard if too much gluten from the flour is released, so the rule of thumb is to mix it “as if cutting” with a rubber spatula. Also, if the temperature of the deep-frying oil is below 170°C, it absorbs too much oil, and if the temperature is above 180°C, the inside tends to be half-baked, so keep the temperature at which small bubbles rise when you put the rapeseed chopsticks in.
Examples of mistakes we tend to make
interpoint (interword separation)The Tragedy of Mixing Too MuchNote: If the dough is kneaded too much, it becomes too sticky and after frying, it will have a “hard bread” texture. To preserve the crispiness, you must have the courage to stop mixing immediately after the flouriness disappears.
interpoint (interword separation)Failure to control temperatureNote: If the oil is fried at a low temperature, the doughnuts will absorb the oil and become “sticky”. Also, if chocolate is poured over the doughnuts before they have cooled, the heat will cause the chocolate to melt off, resulting in an unfortunate appearance. Be sure to let it cool completely on the net before decorating.
At the end.
Thank you for staying with us until the end. Today’s homemade donuts are truly a “little adventure for the holidays”. The finished doughnuts can be placed in an airtight container and enjoyed until the next day. Please enjoy them with your favorite beverage and have a heart-warming tea time.
