THE BEST OLD-FASHIONED DOUGHNUTS



The Best Old-Fashioned Doughnuts image

We spent a lot of time perfecting this doughnut. We wanted a cakey and light texture that wasn't greasy-and we achieved it! The classic craggy edges add a pleasant texture and hold onto the sweet glaze. A combination of buttermilk and sour cream provides tang and richness. But the secret ingredient to the batter is vegetable oil. Surprisingly, it doesn't weight the doughnuts down but makes them even more moist and tender.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 doughnuts and 8 holes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2/3 cup plus 6 tablespoons buttermilk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large egg and 1 egg yolk, beaten to blend
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and the nutmeg in a large bowl until completely combined. Whisk together 2/3 cup of the buttermilk, the sour cream, eggs, yolks, 1 tablespoon of the vanilla paste and the oil in a medium bowl until completely combined. Fold the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients just until a soft and sticky dough comes together (do not overwork).
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and liberally dust with flour (about 1/3 cup).
  • Scrape the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Dust your hands and the top of the dough with more flour, then gently pat the dough to 3/4-inch thick.
  • Working on the baking sheet, punch out as many rounds as you can with a 3 1/4-inch cutter. Then use a 1 1/4-inch cutter to punch out the center of each round. Dip the cutters in flour before each cut to avoid sticking. Gather the dough scraps and gently re-roll without overworking the dough. Repeat cutting until all the dough has been used (you should have 8 doughnuts).
  • Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and line a second rimmed baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Fit a large heavy pot with a deep-fry thermometer and pour in oil to a depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high until the thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
  • Fry the doughnuts in batches until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the wire rack and let cool slightly. Fry the doughnut holes until deep golden brown, about 90 seconds per side. Transfer to the wire rack and let drain for 1 minute. Then transfer to the paper-towel lined baking sheet to cool for 10 minutes before glazing. (This two-step process gets a lot more oil out of the doughnuts than using only one method.) Repeat with the remaining dough, making sure the oil returns to temperature between batches.
  • Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, the remaining 6 tablespoons buttermilk, the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla paste and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until the glaze is smooth and the consistency of honey; add more confectioners' sugar or buttermilk if necessary.
  • Dip each doughnut into the glaze on one side (we like the craggy side, it has more texture for an appetizing appearance), letting the excess drip back into the bowl, then return it to the wire rack. Toss the doughnut holes in the glaze to coat completely and return to the wire rack. Let the glaze set for 10 minutes before serving.

2 large eggs, Well Beaten
fat, Heat the fat to 375 degrees F. (For Deep Frying)

  • Pour the scalded milk over the ingredients in the bowl.
  • Stir until the butter is melted.
  • Cool to lukewarm.
  • When cool, blend in 1 cup of the unbleached flour and beat until smooth.
  • Stir in the yeast and add about half of the remaining flour, beating until smooth.
  • Beat in the eggs.
  • Then beat in enough of the remaining flour to make a SOFT (should be slightly sticky and light in weight).
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 to 10 minutes).
  • Form into a ball and put into a greased bowl, turning to grease the top of the ball of dough.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm draft free place until doubled in bulk.
  • Punch the dough down, kneading lightly to remove all of the air pockets, and turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Roll to 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Cut the dough into rounds using a 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter.
  • Cover with waxed paper and let rise on the rolling surface away from drafts and direct heat, until double in bulk, (30 to 45 minutes).

  • Fry the doughnuts in the heated fat.
  • Put only as many doughnuts at one time as will float uncrowded in a single layer deep in the fat.
  • Fry 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned; turn the doughnuts with a fork or tongs, being careful not to pierce the doughnut, when they rise to the surface.
  • Do this several times during the cooking.
  • Lift from the fat, draining for a few seconds over the fat before removing to absorbent paper toweling.
  • Cool.
  • Cut a slit through the center in the side of each doughnut.
  • Force about 1/2 ts of jam or jelly into the center and press lightly to close the slit. (A pastry bag and tube may be used to force the jelly or jam into the slit.) Shake 2 or 3 bismarks at one time in a bag containing granulated or powdered sugar. (Your choice.) Shake lightly to remove the excess sugar.

DOUGHNUTS



Doughnuts image

Homemade doughnuts are a bit of a project, but they're less work than you might think, and the result is a truly great, hot, crisp doughnut. Once you've mastered this basic recipe for a fluffy, yeasted doughnut, you can do pretty much anything you like in terms of glazes, toppings and fillings.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     breakfast, snack, dessert

Time 3h

Yield About 1 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups milk
2 1/4 teaspoons (one package) active dry yeast
2 eggs
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out the dough
2 quarts neutral oil, for frying, plus more for the bowl.

Steps:

  • Heat the milk until it is warm but not hot, about 90 degrees. In a large bowl, combine it with the yeast. Stir lightly, and let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, beat the eggs, butter, sugar and salt into the yeast mixture. Add half of the flour (2 cups plus 2 tablespoons), and mix until combined, then mix in the rest of the flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add more flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time, if the dough is too wet. If you're using an electric mixer, the dough will probably become too thick to beat; when it does, transfer it to a floured surface, and gently knead it until smooth. Grease a large bowl with a little oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl, and cover. Let rise at room temperature until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  • Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface, and roll it to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out the doughnuts with a doughnut cutter, concentric cookie cutters or a drinking glass and a shot glass (the larger one should be about 3 inches in diameter), flouring the cutters as you go. Reserve the doughnut holes. If you're making filled doughnuts, don't cut out the middle. Knead any scraps together, being careful not to overwork, and let rest for a few minutes before repeating the process.
  • Put the doughnuts on two floured baking sheets so that there is plenty of room between each one. Cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until they are slightly puffed up and delicate, about 45 minutes. If your kitchen isn't warm, heat the oven to 200 at the beginning of this step, then turn off the heat, put the baking sheets in the oven and leave the door ajar.
  • About 15 minutes before the doughnuts are done rising, put the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, and heat it to 375. Meanwhile, line cooling racks, baking sheets or plates with paper towels.
  • Carefully add the doughnuts to the oil, a few at a time. If they're too delicate to pick up with your fingers (they may be this way only if you rose them in the oven), use a metal spatula to pick them up and slide them into the oil. It's O.K. if they deflate a bit; they'll puff back up as they fry. When the bottoms are deep golden, after 45 seconds to a minute, use a slotted spoon to flip; cook until they're deep golden all over. Doughnut holes cook faster. Transfer the doughnuts to the prepared plates or racks, and repeat with the rest of the dough, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the oil at 375. Glaze or fill as follows, and serve as soon as possible.
