A little history

The first donuts were baked by the ancient Romans. True, at that time they used a slightly different set of products to prepare them. Over time, lush, aromatic pies began to be prepared in many countries around the world. And in each of them the donut was called differently. For example, in Ukraine it is “pampushka”, in Germany it is “Berliner”, and in Norway it is “smultring”. The difference between such products consists only in certain subtleties regarding cooking technology, which depend on national characteristics And taste preferences of this people.

However, these are all donuts. The classic recipe involves frying round pieces made from yeast dough in vegetable oil. Sometimes donuts are prepared with a filling of vegetables, fruits, meat or cottage cheese. For example, the Poles add jam to them, and the Germans like to have cheese or sweet cream inside. For Americans, donuts have become a cause for real celebration. Since 1938, every Friday has been considered National Donut Day. At this time, deep-fried sweet balls are sold in large quantities in every cafe and grocery store.

Simple option

Most housewives still prefer to cook fried donuts. Moreover, they can be made with filling, which does not have to be sweet. And if there is catastrophically little time for work, then it is worth using ready-made semi-finished products. In this case, the list of ingredients will be as follows: 0.5 kilograms of minced meat, 1 onion, 1 kilogram of yeast dough, a bunch of dill and vegetable oil.

The most beautiful and fluffy donuts: with sour cream, condensed milk, yeast! Prepare for your loved ones at home.

Fluffy donuts remind me of my childhood, when my grandmother or mother would prepare these delicious homemade cakes on the weekends. Our donuts were served with honey, but since there was no honey, I suggest an option with powdered sugar. Also very tasty and homemade.

• Wheat flour 500 grams
• Milk 200 milliliters
• Butter 50 grams
• Dry yeast 10 grams
• Egg 1 piece
• Sugar 3 tablespoons
• Vanilla for aroma
• Lemon zest from ½ lemon
• Salt 1 pinch
• Powdered sugar for decoration
• Vegetable oil 500 milliliters for frying

First you need to prepare the starter. Mix half a teaspoon of sugar, 50 milliliters of warm milk and 5 tablespoons of flour. And add yeast there. Stir.

Give the starter time to rise. It should rise within 20 minutes.

While the starter is rising, heat the remaining milk and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool. Add vanilla.

Sift the flour and add the starter, cooled milk and sugar, beaten egg, melted butter, salt and lemon zest.

Knead until smooth with a spatula, then grease your hands with oil and continue kneading with your hands. Knead for 5-10 minutes until the dough begins to stick to the sides of the plate.

Cover the dough with cling film and leave it in a warm place until it increases in size by 50-60 minutes, approximately.

When the dough has risen, roll it out into a layer 5-6 millimeters thick. Cut donuts from the dough using a round mold, 7-8 centimeters in diameter. And leave the donuts to rise for about 30 minutes, so that they increase in size.

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or a saucepan with thick walls and fry the donuts in it until golden brown on both sides.

Don’t let the dough burn, don’t take a single step away from the stove so that everything turns out well.

Place fried donuts on paper towels to remove excess fat.

Once the donuts have cooled, sprinkle them with powdered sugar and serve with tea or coffee. This wonderful homemade cake will delight the whole family. Very simple and tasty.

Recipe 2: fluffy donuts with cottage cheese (with photo)

I can say with confidence that the fluffy curd donuts, a step-by-step recipe with photos of which is presented below, taste better than cheesecakes.

• Egg - 1 pc.,
• Sugar - 5-6 tbsp. spoons,
• Vanillin - 1 sachet,
• Baking powder for dough - 1 teaspoon,
• Cottage cheese - 300 gr.,
• Flour - 1.5 cups,
• Refined sunflower oil - 400 gr.

After all the ingredients have been prepared, you can start making the cottage cheese donuts. Beat the egg into a deep bowl.

Add sugar to it.

Whisk the egg and sugar until fluffy.

Add a packet of vanilla to make the curd donuts fragrant.

At the same time, to obtain a loose and porous structure of curd donuts fried in oil, you need to add soda or baking powder. By reacting with sour curd, these products will fill the dough with air bubbles, resulting in them having holes.

After adding baking powder and vanillin to the dough, stir the mixture again.

Add cottage cheese.

Whisk it into the egg-sugar mixture.

All that remains is to add flour to the dough of curd donuts. Do not forget to first sift the flour through a sieve or a special mug.

Now that all the ingredients have been added, knead the dough with your hands. The dough should not be very tight, but at the same time not liquid, otherwise it will not only be difficult to roll them into a ball (the dough will stretch with your hands), but also they will turn out raw inside. The dough I got for donuts was the same consistency as the dough for cheesecakes. That's it, the dough is ready.

Using hands moistened with water or vegetable oil, pinch off a small amount of dough and roll it into a walnut-sized ball.

Pour vegetable oil into a saucepan or small saucepan. I draw your attention to the fact that the oil must be refined. If you fry donuts in unrefined oil, its bright aroma will be transferred to them, and they will lose their natural creamy-curd flavor. In addition, unrefined oil will produce soot and black residue on the bottom of the pan around the time of frying the second batch of cottage cheese donuts.

Place the curd donuts on a cutting board as they are molded. You don’t need to sprinkle the board with additional flour. Any baked goods rolled in flour also quickly turns the butter dark.

Once the oil is hot, carefully lower the cheese donuts one at a time. Try to fry no more than 5-7 pieces at a time. The heat during frying should be low. Otherwise, they will be covered with a golden brown crust on the outside in a matter of seconds (minutes), and at the same time they will remain raw inside. Therefore, in order for deep-fried cottage cheese donuts in oil to be thoroughly fried, they must be fried over low heat.

Carefully remove the finished donuts, which have already become golden brown, from the oil (deep frying) using a slotted spoon. Place them on a plate lined with napkins to absorb excess fat.

Traditionally, they are sprinkled with powdered sugar on top. Additionally, they are served with raw condensed milk, jam, confitures, jams, and so on. Donuts are delicious with either tea or coffee. Enjoy your meal. I will be glad if you and your household will like the fluffy donuts fried in oil, the recipe for which we reviewed.

• powdered sugar to taste,
• vegetable oil for frying.

Place the indicated amount into a plastic bowl. chicken eggs. Immediately pour condensed milk into them. Please note that it should not be boiled. You can use homemade condensed milk to prepare the dough.

Next add baking soda, salt and sift the flour through a sieve. Mix everything well and then knead the dough with your hands. This procedure takes little time, since the dough is kneaded quickly and turns out soft and “obedient.”

Roll out the dough into a paste, not very thin. Squeeze out circles with a large glass, and then with a small one. You should get donuts.

Heat vegetable oil in a bowl, frying pan or saucepan.

Fry the donuts on both sides over low heat in heated vegetable oil.

Cool them and then dust them with powder.

Recipe 4: fluffy donuts made with yeast and milk

Donuts homemade- crispy, ruddy delight for the whole family, a wonderful reason to gather around the common table.

It should be taken into account that excess sugar and butter will not allow the dough to gain volume. Instead of milk, you can use warm whey. Before frying, the products need to lie down for some time - some time to allow the dough to rise a little more.

Finished donuts should be dried on a paper napkin. You can serve them with sour cream, whipped cream, jam, or sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Pour it all over with a glass of warm milk. Mix thoroughly, getting rid of lumps.

Let it rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. You can preheat the oven slightly, then turn it off. And place a bowl of dough in it, covering it with film.

The dough went very well.

Add melted or softened butter and whipped yolks with vanilla sugar to it.

Add flour and knead the dough. Cover it again with film and send it to a warm place for 40-50 minutes.

Grows up yeast dough It’s very good if the yeast is fresh and not stale.

Knead the dough with your hands on a floured board.

Then you need to divide it into two parts. Place one under film to prevent it from drying out. And let's start working with the second part. Roll it out into a layer 0.5-0.7 cm thick. Squeeze out circles using a cookie cutter or glass. Use a piping bag tip or other cutter to cut holes in the center of each circle. Let the preparations rise for about 10 minutes and start frying.

Pour vegetable oil into a small saucepan or saucepan. It is better if it is odorless. Heat it over low heat and carefully lay out the donuts. Deep fry on one side first.

As soon as they are browned, use tongs or two forks to turn them over. reverse side. Fry over low heat so that the oil and the donuts do not burn.

Use a slotted spoon or tongs to place the finished browned donuts in a bowl on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Sprinkle donuts with powdered sugar through a strainer.

The resulting yeast dough makes quite a few donuts.

We also deep-fry the pieces of dough that remain from the insides of the circles. There will be small balls for kids.

The donuts are airy, aromatic and very tasty. We don't put a lot of sugar in the dough, because powdered sugar replaces it. The more it is, the sweeter the treat will be.

It is better to eat donuts freshly prepared. Then they are very tasty.

Making Donuts with Berliner Filling

Place flour in a large bowl.
Crumble the yeast into a small bowl. Add two tablespoons of sugar and stir vigorously with a spoon. And watch with curiosity how the yeast begins to devour the sugar and becomes liquid.

Add milk at room temperature to this liquid yeast and stir well.

Add the yolks, sugar, salt, butter and lemon zest, as well as the yeast mixture, to the bowl with the flour.

Mix well first with a spoon and fork, then knead into a smooth dough with your hands. If necessary, add flour, knead the dough thoroughly and for quite a long time, saturating it with air.
Cover the bowl with the dough with a damp towel and place in a warm place to rise for about an hour. The dough should double in size.
Knead the risen dough well.

Roll out into a layer 2 cm thick.

Using a round cutter with a diameter of 6 cm, cut out circles from the dough.

Place the dough circles on a floured surface, cover and leave for an hour, again to rise.

In a large saucepan, heat vegetable oil to 170 degrees. If small bubbles form in the oil on the surface of a wooden spoon, the oil is at the right temperature.

Turn the heat under the pan a little lower and place the circles, 3 at a time, into the hot oil with a slotted spoon. You don’t need a lot at once, otherwise the oil will cool down.

Fry for 2 minutes on each side. If they brown too quickly, then reduce the heat under the pan slightly.

Place the finished Berliners on a napkin so that the oil from them is absorbed into it.
Place strawberry jam (or other filling) in a pastry bag with a long thin tip. It is shaped like a syringe needle, only larger, of course.

Fill each bun with filling. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top. The Berliners are ready!
Without powdered sugar, you can freeze them for later. Be sure to serve fresh!

For frying, use a pan with a thick bottom and high sides.
The oil will not burn if you add a pinch of salt to the oil before frying.

“Unsweetened” donuts can be prepared using herbs (parsley and dill are suitable, but other herbs can spoil the taste). The greens are finely chopped and added to the dough.
