doughnuts (deep-fried then baked)

Dec 14, 2006 18:32

The other day hubby said "I want doughnuts". I searched all the internet, but ended up getting a recipe from my friend's mom.
Although I did everything she said, the doughnuts did not fry through, so I had to bake them. Here's a picture, the recipe is behind cut.
Can anyone share a good fool proof doughtnut recipe?

2 1/2 tsp dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
3 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350F.
Dissolve yeast in water.
When yeast starts bubbling add milk, egg, vanilla, butter, sugar and salt.
Mix in flour.
The resulting dough will be sticky.

Heat vegetable oil to 370F.
Form doughnuts and fry until float. Turn over, fry the other side until golden.
Drain oil from the doughnuts on a paper towel, place on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

NOTE: the taste was good, they were a bit too fried for my taste.
I didn't make them big, size of a regular DunkinDoughnuts Doughnut.
I'd prefer a recipe that is either baked or fried, but not both.
My friend's mom said they didn't need to be baked, but the dough inside was raw (still cold).
They did look absolutely gorgeous.

yeast, frying, doughnuts
