Punahou Yeast Doughnuts

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   For the recipe you will need: flour, milk, eggs, yeast, butter, vegetable oil for frying, salt, sugar.

2. Step 2:

   

   Dissolve sugar and yeast in 100 ml of warm milk, cover with a saucer and let stand for 10 minutes to activate the yeast. As soon as the foam appears on the surface, the yeast has started working.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the yeast is activated, separate the yolks from the proteins.

4. Step 4:

   

   Heat the remaining milk to a warm state, add the yolks, salt, melted butter. Last of all, add activated yeast. Stir with a whisk.

5. Step 5:

   

   Sift the flour. If there is no sieve, then you can use a whisk (beat the flour).

6. Step 6:

   

   Add the sifted flour in small portions into warm milk (mixture) and mix at the same time with a whisk. As a result, the dough will be thicker than for pancakes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Now set aside the dishes with the dough, cover with a towel - let it stand in the heat for half an hour.After that, process the dough with your hands and leave it in the heat for an hour and a half.

9. Step 8:

   

   Heat the oil in a deep frying pan. The oil level should be such that it covers half of the donut at once. You can heat the oil over high heat, and then turn it down a little.

10. Step 9:

    

    While the butter is heating up, take the dough in small portions, roll out about 0.5 cm thick and cut out future donuts.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the doughnuts in the highly heated oil and fry on both sides until a brown crust forms. Donuts quickly increase in volume when frying.

12. Step 11:

    

    Donuts are ready! Ready-made donuts can be sprinkled with powdered sugar (easily made in a coffee grinder from sugar), pour chocolate sauce, etc.
