Ingredients You'll Need
For the dough:
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of milk
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
2 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons of active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
For frying and coating:
Vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
Making the dough for these Brazilian donuts is surprisingly easy. The key is to use active dry yeast and let it activate in warm milk and sugar before adding it to the flour mixture. This will ensure that the donuts rise properly and have a light and airy texture.
Once the dough has risen, it's time to shape and fry the donuts. This can be a fun and interactive activity for the whole family. Use a round cookie cutter or a small glass to cut out the donut shapes. Make sure to coat your hands in flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
When it comes to frying the donuts, it's important to use vegetable oil for a neutral flavor that won't overpower the delicate taste of the donuts. You can also add a cinnamon stick or a piece of lemon peel to the oil for a subtle flavor infusion.
After frying, drain the donuts on a paper towel to remove any excess oil. Then, roll them in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon for a traditional and delicious coating. You can also get creative and try different coatings like powdered sugar, chocolate glaze, or sprinkles.
These Brazilian donuts are best enjoyed fresh and warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for a day or two. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or heat them up in the oven at a low temperature.
With this easy and foolproof recipe, you can bring a taste of Brazil to your home and impress your friends and family with these tasty and unique donuts. So go ahead and give it a try, and be prepared to fall in love with the flavors and textures of these Brazilian donuts.
