In a saucepan pour milk , butter and egg ..Mix well and heat that mixture by stirring continuously for 1 to 2 minute
In a bowl add yeast and pour 1/4 cup of this milk mixture and mix well and keep aside for 10 minute .. (add after the mix cool down to lukewarm stage ,otherwise yeast will die)
Then add this yeast mixture back into the milk egg mixture and stir well
In a big bowl add maida and salt ..Mix well
Then make a well in the centre and pour this yeast mix and mix well ...U will a get a semi liquid mix ..(don't worry :) )
Close the bowl with a wet cloth or cling wrap and keep aside in a warm place for 45 min to 2 hour for proofing
The bowl should be large otherwise while proofing it will overflow
Now heat oil in a kadai
Meanwhile wet ur hands and take small small portions and put in the oil ..or u can follow ad chef doing in the video
The temperature of the oil should be medium in the beginning then after 2 minutes reduce and cook until golden colour .. u will come to know after cookingthe first batch of donuts
The thing is , bit difficult to make round shape with hole as the dough is runny kind
I got this recipe from the masterchef masterclass Australia episode
So when done remove from the oil and keep in the kitchen tissue
Dip in caster sugar (powdered sugar ) and roll ..U can add cinnamon powder in the sugar for an interesting taste..or can fill jam in the middle
added 75gms of butter but original recipe ask for 100gms
I am posting the video so it will more easy for u to follow
