Doughnuts

To make a dough, on a flat surface make a well of flour. Add yeast, sugar, vanilla essence.

Using milk make dough till get a smooth surface.

Cream the butter and salt and rub it into the dough. Allow it to prove for 40 mins.

Once the dough has risen, place it on a flat surface and knead lightly. Divide it in half, keeping half the dough covered, so it doesn’t form a skin.

With a rolling pin, roll out half of the dough to about 1/2″ thickness. Cut with a round, sharp cookie cutter (about 3″ diameter) then make the holes with a smaller cookie cutter (about 1″ diameter), saving the holes. Place each doughnut on a butter paper.

Cover it with moist cloth and place in the oven or hot place so that it rise doubled in size.

Heat oil and fry them. Our doughnuts are ready. Dressed as you like.
