  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 4 Medium Eggs

  • 300 g Caster Sugar

Metric - US Measurements

Instructions
For The Dough

  • Add your Water, Milk, Flour, Sugar, Yeast, Eggs, and Salt into a bowl, and mix together with a paddle attachment for 5 minutes on a low-medium speed. I used my Kitchenaid!

  • Once this has been done, mix in the butter a little at a time (which is why it must be soft/room temperature). I keep the mixer going, and just add in 1tsp of butter roughly at a time.

  • Once all the butter is in, keep mixing for another 5-8 minutes until the dough is lovely, smooth and springs back when prodded (like bread dough would). It will be quite sticky!

  • Leave the dough to rise for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size. Cover your bowl with clingfilm or a clean tea-towel! 

  • Once it has doubled in size, take it out of the bowl, and briefly knead to "knock it back", and add to a new bowl, and cover with cling film. Leave in the fridge overnight to rise slowly!

  • The next day, shape into ball shapes. I weigh the dough, and then split evenly so I know that the doughnuts will take the same time to cook. Mine were 65g each! 

  • Roll the doughnuts lightly between your hands, or on the surface, to get a round shape. 

  • Put the doughnuts quite spread apart onto a lined and floured tray, and leave to rise again for an 3-4 hours - the dough will be cold so it might take longer to rise!

  • Once risen, pour your oil into a large pan, and heat to about 180C (this can be a bit of trial and error, if you don't have a thermometer) 

  • Carefully lower your doughnuts into the oil, without burning yourself, and fry each one each side for about 2-3 minutes. Handle the doughnuts as little as possible! (I usually have each doughnut on it's own small bit of parchment and tip it in and remove the paper)

  • If your doughnuts are browning extremely quickly and burning, the oil is probably too hot. Lower it slightly and try again! 

  • Carefully turn each doughnut over and fry again on the other side (and you should get the classic white ring in the middle! 

  • Once fried, remove carefully and toss each doughnut in caster sugar mixed with the cinnamon (easier to do this in a large bowl)

  • Once the doughnuts have been cooked through, and tossed in the sugar, fill your doughnuts by adding a salted caramel sauce (I use Carnations Caramel with 1tsp sea salt added in) to a piping bag, snipping off the end, and inserting into the side of the doughnut.

  • Store with the hole upwards, so it doesn't get too messy! 


Recipe Notes

  • I have tried to explain this as best as I can - read through all the above text first if this is your first time making them!
  • They usually last 2 days after making!
  • I used dried active yeast, but if you can get fresh yeast (usually you can ask bakeries for it, and it should be free), and it is better! 
  • You can fill with pretty much anything you want!
  • I use Carnations Caramel tin mixed with 1tsp Sea Salt for my Caramel Sauce - it's a good thickness!
  • The cinnamon is optional, but gives a WONDERFUL flavour!
