Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

I had some lovely Gulab Jamun recently and they were divine but even they need deep frying

 

anyone got a good chests donut recipe that doesn't need a ton of oil?

I had a doughnut baking tray, with recipe, years ago from Lakeland, I didn't like the baked doughnuts at all I don't know where the recipe is now, unfortunately.

Now I'm looking for a little deep fat fryer to do doughnuts in (got Argos vouchers to spend ) it seems to be the best way.

aldi were doing small/mini deep fat fryers a while ago for about £15-£20 but I don't like the smell and the mess all the oil makes.

 

BTW, I meant cheats donuts!

I've also got one of those trays from Lakeland, bought it years ago when the children were small. The doughnuts are just the right size for a small child or bite sized for an adult. Just looked in my recipe folder and I still have the cardboard sleeve the tray came in with the recipe on the back.

 

The doughnut mixture is a batter so you would need the special shaped doughnut tray to get the hole in the middle of the doughnut. I don't think Lakeland do the trays any more but a quick google and a site called westfalia have them, reduced from £7.99 to £4.99.

 

I can post the recipe if any one can think of a way to make them without having to use the tray.

There are umpteen recipes for baked doughnuts on 'tinterweb.

 

Here is just one. They all seem to be much of a muchness.

 

Using American Cup measures.

 

1/3 c. oil

1 egg

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 c. sugar

1 1/2 c. flour

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 c. milk

Mix together until smooth. Line 12 muffin tins with paper baking cup. Fill only 1/2 full. Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from papers immediately. Roll in melted butter; then roll in mixture of 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Best served warm. Be sure to check donuts with toothpick to make sure centers are done.

 

I used to have the Lakeland tray. I'll have a hunt round and see if I can find it. I may have chucked it in the direction of a charity shop.

Recipe for mini sugar dusted doughnuts for the mini doughnut tray.

 

Preheat the oven to 160c/325F/Gas Mark 3

 

Lightly brush the doughnut pan with cooking oil.

 

225g/8oz plain flour

10ml/2tsp baking powder

5ml/1tsp salt

175g/6oz caster sugar

175ml/16fl.oz milk

2 eggs, beaten

15ml/1tbsp olive oil

5ml/1tsp vanilla extract

extra caster sugar for dusting

 

Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add the sugar and give it a stir to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, beaten eggs, olive oil and vanilla extract together and add this to the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly. Using a teaspoon, carefully fill each of the doughnut cups around 3/4 full with the batter. Place in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or until firm, but springy to touch. Cool slightly. Sprinkle a little caster sugar onto a plate or other flat surface. Turn the doughnuts out and dip them (bottoms first!) into the sugar. Hey Presto! Fabulous sugar-dusted doughnuts in no time at all!!
