EGGLESS CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUTS

These doughnuts are for the Blogging Marathon 47 week 1 day 1 where we had to choose from the link given to us from A to I . I made these Canadian chocolate doughnuts.  According to wiki Canadians consume the most doughnuts in the world, and Canada also has the most doughnut stores per capita. 

My hubby and daughter love doughnuts  and are thrilled whenever I make them. When I made these doughnuts and gave them to my friends, they were so thrilled they could not believe that these are made at home.

Ingredients
250 Grams All Purpose Flour
2.1/4 Teaspoon Instant Yeast
50 Grams Sugar Powder
2 Tablespoon Ghee or Butter
8 Tablespoons Milk
8 Tablespoons Water
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla essence or

1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon powder - I used this

1 Cup Dark chocolate - melted

For decoration - coloured sprinkles or chocolate vermicelli

Method

Take a bowl add sugar, yeast, water, milk, salt, mix it till the sugar melts, then add all purpose flour and cinnamon powder, mix it well make into a dough.  Knead for 7 minutes and add butter again kneading for 3 minutes and rest it for 30 minutes in a warm place, after 30 minutes give knock back and again rest for another 30 minutes.

Take the dough and with help of rolling pin roll it into ½ inch sheet. 

Cut the doughnuts with doughnut cutter,( I cut them with a round cookie cutter then the center with small bottle cap ).

 Transfer in to the tray, then rest for 10 to 15 minutes to rise.

Heat oil in a Kadai and deep fry the doughnuts on low flame till brown in colour, take them out in a paper towel and let the excess oil drain. Let them cool.

For the chocolate coating, in microwave proof bowl melt the chocolate. . Dip each doughnut into the glaze, allow to cool. Sprinkle with any toppings or sprinkles or chocolate chips. Allow chocolate to set and serve.

Notes:  

If you are using salted butter then do not add salt.

Fry then on very low flame or else then will brown from outside and uncooked inside.
