Who doesn't remember these delicious doughnuts that every grocery store/confectionary in Malta used to sell early in the morning?
Ingredients
- 100g sugar
- 500g plain flour
- Pinch of Salt
- 10 grams dry yeast
- 60g unsalted butter, melted
- 250ml lukewarm milk
- 100ml lukewarm water
- Icing Powder for dusting
Put all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl except the yeast. In a separate bowl mix the melted butter, yeast, water and milk and pour on the dry ingredients, mixing and kneading into a dough for about 10 minutes until elastic and smooth. Place dough in a plastic bowl, cover with greased cling film and leave to rise for about 60 minutes. Punch the dough down, knead for a few minutes and cover again for 60 minutes. Afterwards, divide into equal portions, shaping each portion into long bun shapes. Cover and let rise until double in size.
Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown. When cooled, make a slit in the middle and spread some strawberry jam in the middle. Pipe (or spray) fresh cream. If using fresh cream, beat until stiff before piping down or else you can use Ready Whip from a a can. Drizzle some more strawberry jam on top of the cream and dust with icing sugar :)
