Too many readers were not having success with this recipe,<br> and the only reason can be the difference of not using the correct amount of flour. The ONLY way to use the correct amount of flour is by weighing it.\n\nIngredients\n\n6 tbsp (100 ml) water\n5 oz buttermilk (150 ml) (at room temperature)\n1 egg,<br> beaten (at room temperature)\n2 oz (57 g) butter,<br> melted\n16 oz (454 g) all-purpose or bread flour\n2 oz (57 g) sugar\n1 tsp salt\n1\u00bd tsp (3.5 g) regular or quick-rise yeast (one and a \u00bd teaspoons)oil for frying (I use sunflower or grapeseed or a combination)sugar for coating the doughnuts\njam,<br> Nutella and or whipped cream for filling,<br> if desired\n\nSpecial equipment: a kitchen scale,<br> parchment or wax paper,<br> cut into about 4\u2033 squares (smaller pieces for doughnut holes) and a pot,<br> deep fryer,<br> or wok.\n\nInstructions\n\nFOR BREAD MACHINE:\n\nPlace the water,<br> buttermilk,<br> beaten egg and melted butter in the bread machine pan,<br> then add the dry ingredients,<br> except for the yeast. Make a small indentation in the dry ingredients,<br> then add the yeast. Set the bread machine on the \u2018dough\u2019 setting.\n\nFOR STAND MIXER WITH DOUGH HOOK,<br> OR BY HAND:\n\nPlace the dry ingredients in a bowl. Put 6 tbsp of lukewarm water in a cup and sprinkle the yeast on top,<br> set aside for about 5 minutes,<br> until the yeast begins to react (you can add a pinch of sugar to help it). Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients,<br> then pour in the buttermilk,<br> egg,<br> melted butter and yeast mixture. If using a stand mixer,<br> run with the dough hook until a dough forms then continue for about 5 minutes. By hand,<br> knead for about 10 minutes. Cover and set aside until at least doubled in size.\n\nBOTH BREAD MACHINE,<br> STAND MIXER\/HAND INSTRUCTIONS FOLLOW BELOW:\n\nOnce the dough has doubled,<br> place it on a floured surface and knead lightly. Divide it in half,<br> keeping half the dough covered,<br> so it doesn\u2019t form a skin. With a rolling pin,<br> roll out half of the dough to about \u00bd\u2033 thickness. Cut with a round,<br> sharp cookie cutter (about 3\u2033 diameter) then make the holes with a smaller cookie cutter (about 1\u2033 diameter),<br> saving the holes.Place each doughnut on a piece of parchment or waxed paper,<br> then place on a cookie sheet. Put the tray in the oven (turn it on for 1 minute,<br> SET A TIMER,<br> then turn it off again,<br> just to make it barely warm).Next,<br> boil some water and pour it into a measuring jug. Place the jug of water in the oven with the tray of doughnuts (this will create steam will keep a skin from forming). With the remaining dough,<br> divide into quarters,<br> then divide each piece in half to make 8 equal amounts. Roll each piece of dough into a smooth ball,<br> and place on parchment or waxed paper pieces and place on a cookie sheet; place in the oven with the other doughnuts to rise until doubled in size.Heat the oil to about 350\u00baF (180\u00ba). If you don\u2019t have a thermometer,<br> test the oil with a doughnut hole: if it doesn\u2019t start frying immediately,<br> the oil is too cold,<br> if the hole turns brown right away,<br> the oil is too hot. Adjust the heat accordingly.Drop the doughnuts into the hot oil using the paper to carefully lower them into the oil. Turn them over as soon as they become golden brown on the underside,<br> and remove them and place on a paper towel lined platter once they are ready.When the doughnuts have cooled,<br> roll them in sugar to coat evenly. If you choose to fill the large doughnuts,<br> push a skewer into the center of the doughnut to make a hole,<br> then place some room temperature jam,<br> or slightly warmed Nutella into a piping bag and pipe the filling into the doughnut.\n\n\n ![image (https:\/\/img.esteem.ws\/q7l4p4d6pi.jpg)",<br>"json_metadata":" \"links\":[ ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/img.esteem.ws\/zqk2vmgyy2.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/img.esteem.ws\/q7l4p4d6pi.jpg\" ,<br>\"tags\":[\"food\" ,<br>\"app\":\"esteem\/1.4.6\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown+html\",<br>\"community\":\"esteem\" " |
