- 200 g shortening
- 200 g egg
- 525 g ice water
Instructions:
-
Mix the Dough:
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Using a paddle attachment, mix at low speed for 1 minute, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Continue mixing at medium speed for an additional 3 minutes or until the dough becomes smooth.
-
Shape the Donuts:
- Remove the dough from the bowl and roll it out to a thickness of 1-1.3 cm.
- Use a donut cutter (8.5 cm in diameter) to cut out the donuts. Each donut should weigh about 58-61 g.
- Freeze the shaped donuts for 15-30 minutes to help maintain shape during frying.
-
Fry the Donuts:
- Preheat the oil to 180°C (350°F).
- For submerged frying, cook the donuts for 4 minutes.
- For open frying, cook for 6 minutes, flipping the donuts every 2 minutes until golden brown.
-
Serve:
- Once fried, coat the donuts with powdered sugar.
- Let them cool and enjoy!
Yield:
This recipe yields approximately 30-35 donuts, depending on the size and thickness of each donut (58-61 g per donut).
Pro Tips:
-
Tip 1: Freeze for Better Frying: Freezing the donuts before frying helps them retain their shape and prevents them from absorbing too much oil.
-
Tip 2: Oil Temperature: Ensure the oil stays at a steady 180°C (350°F). Using a thermometer can help maintain the perfect frying temperature, ensuring the donuts are evenly golden and not greasy.
-
Tip 3: Customize the Coating: For a unique twist, try coating your donuts with cinnamon sugar, matcha powder, or even a simple glaze instead of powdered sugar.
-
Tip 4: Store Properly: If you're not serving immediately, let the donuts cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and soft.
