Provided by Fiona Dowling

Categories     Breakfast     Dessert

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour (, spooned and leveled)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup sugar (plus 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (, cooled to room temperature)
2/3 cups buttermilk (, room temperature)
Oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and salt. Set aside
  • In a separate large bowl using a stand or hand-held electric mixer beat together the egg, egg yolk and sugar on medium speed. Once combined, turn off the mixer and stir in the vanilla and melted butter.
  • Using a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon fold in half the flour mixture, followed by the buttermilk. Mix briefly with the electric mixer on low to fully combine. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture & buttermilk until everything is combined. The dough will be thick.
  • Flour a flat surface, and roll out the dough using a floured rolling pin until the dough is approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into doughnuts using a doughnut cutter. Form a ball with the left over pieces of dough, roll-out again and cut doughnuts from the remaining batter.
  • Clip a deep fry/candy thermometer to the inside of a heavy-bottom Dutch oven pot with high sides. Pour oil into the bottom of the saucepan so its about 2-inches deep. Heat the oil on medium-high heat until a temperature of 375F degrees is reached. Carefully place 2 or 3 doughnuts into the saucepan. Fry the doughnuts for about 60 seconds on the first side. Then flip using a heat proof tool - such as the end of a wooden spoon or tongs, and fry on the second side for about 60 seconds. Remove from the hot oil using a large slotted spoon, the end of a wooden spoon or tongs and place on a flat surface lined with clean paper towels. Allow the oil to return to 375F before continuing with process with the rest of the doughnuts. Doughnut holes will take about half the time, or about 30 seconds per side. After frying the first set of doughnuts and allowing them to cool for a few minutes - break the doughnut open to ensure it's cooked throughout and adjust your frying time accordingly.

CLASSIC CAKE DOUGHNUTS



Classic Cake Doughnuts image

These doughnuts are fantastic! They're at their best right after making them.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h4m

Yield 2 dozen doughnuts and holes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup vegetable shortening, plus more for deep frying
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup canned evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1 teaspoon fine salt
For coating the doughnuts (optional): 1 cup granulated sugar, or 1 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Melt the shortening in a small saucepan over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly but still liquid.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and shortening together on medium speed, until just combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the milk and vanilla, and continue beating until the mixture is light, about 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, mace, and salt into a medium bowl.
  • Reduce the mixer's speed to low, add the flour mixture until just combined. (The texture of the dough will be soft and loose.) Transfer the dough to a large piece of plastic wrap and wrap it well. (Make sure you scrap off all the dough clinging to the paddle.) Refrigerate the dough for 4 hours or overnight.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll the chilled dough out into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Dip the edges of a 2 1/2-inch-round doughnut cutter in flour and cut the dough into doughnuts. Place the doughnuts and holes on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  • Put enough vegetable shortening into a tall, heavy-bottomed pot to fill it about a third of the way up. Heat the shortening over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • Working in batches, fry the doughnuts and holes, turning once, until they are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the doughnuts to the paper towels to drain and cool. Repeat until all the doughnuts and holes are fried. (Make sure the shortening returns to 375 degrees F. between batches.)
  • For sugared doughnuts, roll the doughnuts in sugar or cinnamon sugar while they are still warm. To cover the doughnuts with confectioners' sugar, allow them to cool completely before rolling in the sugar.

BAKED CAKE DONUTS



Baked Cake Donuts image

While cake donuts are traditionally fried, they're just as delicious baked in the oven, with far less cleanup. Toss in powdered sugar or finish with a simple glaze and sprinkles or toasted coconut -- you can't go wrong!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush two standard donut pans with butter. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to medium; add eggs and vanilla, beating until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk, and beat just until combined.
  • Transfer batter to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag, and snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner of bag. Divide mixture evenly between prepared pans. Bang pans several times on counter to release air bubbles.
  • Bake until tops of donuts spring back when lightly pressed, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. To decorate, see Variations below.

CAKE DOUGHNUTS



Cake Doughnuts image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 12 doughnuts (plus about 6 doughnut holes)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable shortening, for frying

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a 3-inch-round cookie cutter or glass to trace 12 circles on the parchment, leaving space between each. Flip the parchment over and lightly coat with cooking spray. Fit a pastry bag with a 1/2-inch round tip or snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner of a large resealable plastic bag.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt into a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Beat in the whole egg and yolk until incorporated and the mixture turns pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Beat in the milk and vanilla until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed. Reduce the mixer speed to low; gradually beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated (do not overmix). Transfer the batter to the prepared pastry bag.
  • Using the circles as a guide, pipe the batter into 3-inch rings. (To make doughnut holes with the remaining batter, pipe 1-inch rounds onto the parchment.) Refrigerate while you heat the shortening, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat about 6 cups shortening in a large pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 340 degrees F. (You want to have about 2 inches of liquid once the shortening melts.) Use scissors to cut the parchment around each doughnut, leaving a 1-inch border. Carefully invert 2 doughnuts into the shortening and peel off the parchment with tongs. Fry until golden brown, 1 minute 30 seconds per side. (Fry the doughnut holes 30 seconds per side.) Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Bring the shortening back to 340 degrees F and repeat with the remaining doughnuts.

OLD-FASHIONED CAKE DOUGHNUTS (DONUTS)



Old-Fashioned Cake Doughnuts (Donuts) image

There's nothing better than homemade doughnuts! I like cake donuts better than yeast donuts. This is how I make my favorite doughnuts for my family on the weekends. Real simple ingredients you already have on hand. The hardest part is letting the dough chill for an hour before frying them. You can make the dough the night before and have them ready to go in the morning, that's what I do ;) either douse them in cinnamon sugar or icing sugar or .....(you get the idea) I use a dough hook on my Stand Mixer which makes this real easy to whip up. NOTE: Prep time does not include chill time.

Provided by Vseward Chef-V

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 14 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup milk
4 cups flour (plus a little more if dough is sticky)
oil (for frying)
cinnamon sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl mix the sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
  • Add eggs, milk and melted butter. Beat well.
  • Add 3 cups of the flour, beating until blended. Add one more cup of flour and beat well. The dough should be soft and sticky but firm enough to handle. If you feel its necessary, add up to 1/2 cup more flour.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and chill for *at* *least* one hour.
  • Remove your dough from the fridge and begin heating about 1" of oil to 360F in a large metal skillet.
  • Working half the dough at a time, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2" thickness. Cut out circles using a doughnut cutter or large biscuit or cookie cutter. For the center, I actually use the cap off my martini shaker ;) to cut the holes.
  • Gently drop the doughnuts in batches into the hot oil. Flip them over as they puff and turn them a couple more times as they cook. They will take about 2-3 minutes in total and will be lovely and golden brown all over.
  • Remove from the oil and set them on paper towels or brown paper bag (that removes all the fat, you know).
  • Douse them with sugar and cinnamon, icing, chocolate dipped with sprinkles or whatever you like.
