Taiwanese Donuts
By Tiffy Cooks
One of my favorite desserts is Taiwanese Donuts, which are fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. Taiwanese Donuts are deep-fried till golden brown and coated in sugar. Unlike western donuts, they are not heavy, since it is not a cake batter consistency, but instead, imagine deep-fried milk bread.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add flour, sugar, salt, yeast, milk, and eggs to the stand mixer. Mix until everything is combined. It will be a sticky consistency, but that is normal!
- Next, add butter, and keep mixing for another 2-3 minutes or until everything is fully combined.
- Spread a thin layer of flour to prevent the dough from sticking, and add a little bit of flour to your hands. Form the dough into a smooth ball, then cover and let it rest for 1 hour or until double in size.
- Roll out the dough to around 1 cm thickness, and using a circular mold, cut out 1-inch wide donut holes.
- With the remaining dough, roll it back into a ball, and repeat step 4.
- Let the dough holes rest on parchment paper for around 30 minutes to rise, and leave space between each donut hole.
- Heat up oil to 350F, and add in the donut holes. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan. Let it set for around 30 seconds, and once it doubles in size, let it fry for another 90 seconds, tossing and turning to ensure they fry evenly.
- Coat the donut hole with sugar, and enjoy!
