Dutch doughnuts

Instructions

1- Place the flour in a large bowl and add the yeast and sugar.

2- If the milk is cold make sure to heat it to lukewarm.

3- Mix your flour mixture bit by bit with the milk until you have a smooth batter.

4- Add the salt and mix with a wooden spoon till the batter is smooth and liquidy.

5- Cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm spot for about an hour to rise.

6- Heat your deep fryer or add the oil to a large pot.

7- The oil should be a t 180˚C (350˚F) for best results.

8- Before starting stir your batter through and scoop the batter with two spoons or with an ice cream scoop.

9- Let it drop into the oil carefully.

10- It is easiest to do this if you dip your spoons or scoop into the oil before dipping into the batter.

11- That way it will slide of the spoons easily.

12- Don't over crowd the fryer to prevent the oil cooling down too quickly and everything sticking together.

13- Once one side is golden brown it usually turns around to the other side automatically.

14- If not help it along with two forks.

15- Take the balls out once golden brown and leave to drain on a piece of kitchen paper.
