Easy & Quick Home-Made Chocolate Glazed Donuts

Posted By Samreen Saleem

 

There is a bit of difference between baked or cake donuts & deep-fried glazed donuts. The taste is different & usually fried & glazed donuts are more delicious as compared to baked donuts. Baked donuts taste like a cake and have nothing special flavor but fired-glazed donuts have a special taste & kids love to eat fried glazed donuts.

This recipe is a Ganache-based recipe instead of cocoa powder, milk & butter glazed donuts, and I used dark chocolate Ganache for a lovely texture and delicious taste.

 

 

Ingredients:

Oil for frying

Donuts Dough 1

Yeast: One packet of instant dry yeast.

Milk: 1 cup of warm milk

Salt: To taste

All-Purpose flour (Maida):  1 Cup

Mix well and cover it for 30 min. Let it rise and rest.

 

Donuts Dough 2

Milk: Warm ¼ Cup

Yeast: Instant dry yeast ½ tbsp

Mix well into a bowl. Add Flour & yeast mixture (dough 1)

Salt to taste

Sugar Powdered 1 tbsp

Vanilla Extract / Essence ½ tsp

Egg Yolks 1 & ½

Beat well with a beater until it will be smooth.

Add Butter Melted 3 tbsp

All-Purpose flour 1 & ¼ cup

Now add more all-purpose flour to stiffen gradually & beat well. Knead well to form a soft dough.  Cover it & refrigerate it for 1 & ½ hours or until it will rise.

Make medium size donuts with the help of a cutter or a round lid. Use a cutter to cut the hole inside or just use a small round lid and make a cut inside the donuts.

Sprinkle some all-purpose flour to stiff the donuts and leave for 20 min to rise.

Heat the pan on the stove and heat the oil for frying. Fry the donuts until they will turn brown and crispy. Let them cool.

 

Ganache:

Milk 4 tbsp

Butter 2 tbsp melted (no need to use butter if the cream is added)

Dark chocolate Shredded or pieces

Cream 1 cup

Stir well on heat. Turn off the heat & dish out the Ganache into another pan & let it cool.

Now dip the donuts from the upper side or spread the Ganache on the upper side of the donuts and let it refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving.

 

Note 1. Place the dough in the oiled surface bowl. Don’t sprinkle extraordinary all-purpose flour. Check it until it rises, don’t leave it for too long time because it will become a sour taste & sour smell.

2. Just sprinkle a small amount of all-purpose flour on the donuts to stiff but never spread an extra amount of flour and check it until it will rise. Don’t leave for too long time.

3. Take enough oil for deep frying in the pan. Don’t heat up the oil too hot because the donuts will overcook. Donuts have holes inside so it will take a minimum of 20-30 seconds to fry & Donuts must be a cook from the inside so adjust the heat temperature accordingly.

4. You can sprinkle some “cinnamon sugar” or “Chocolate Chips” on the glazed donuts for a more delicious taste.

5. You can also add some corn syrup to the Ganache for a more delicious taste.

Now you can enjoy the delicious treat with tea or coffee.
