How to make Homemade Donuts
1. In a bowl, combine lukewarm water and sugar. Sprinkle dry yeast over the water-sugar mixture. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture with maida (all-purpose flour), a pinch of salt, one medium-sized egg, and 1 tbsp of butter.
3. Knead the ingredients together until you form a smooth and elastic dough. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes or until it doubles in size.
4. After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out the donut shapes.
5. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
6. Carefully place the donuts in the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown on both sides. Remove the fried donuts and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate buttons and butter together until smooth.
8. Dip each donut into the chocolate glaze, ensuring it’s fully coated. While the chocolate glaze is still wet, sprinkle color sprinklers and white chocolate chips on top of the donuts for a delightful decoration.
9. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving the homemade donuts. Enjoy these delicious treats with your favorite hot beverage!
