Donut Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of flour 0000 (normal or all-purpose).
• 2 eggs.
• 400 ml of warm water.
• 120 g of sugar.
• 50 g fresh yeast (or 10 g dry yeast).
• 50 g of margarine.
• 1 tablespoon vanilla essence.
• Zest of 1 lemon.

Instructions:

1. Dough preparation:

   • In a large bowl, mix the flour with the yeast.
   • Add the eggs, sugar, margarine, vanilla essence and lemon zest.
   • Add the warm water little by little while kneading the dough until it is smooth and homogeneous.
   • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

2. Formed donuts:

   • Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is approximately 1 cm thick.
   • Using a round cutter, cut out circles of dough.
   • Make a hole in the center of each circle to form the donuts.
   • Place the donuts on a floured tray and let them rest again for about 30 minutes.

3. Frying:

   • Heat plenty of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Fry the donuts in batches, turning so they brown evenly.
   • Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and place them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.

4. Coverage:

   • You can dust the donuts with powdered sugar or dip them in chocolate or vanilla glaze.
   • Ready! Serve your homemade donuts and enjoy.
