  13. 3-4 tbsliquid milk
  14. Few drops food color (optional)

Cooking Instructions

20 - 30 min
  1. 1

    Measuring tools are very essential here, silver or plastic, though the plastic are at an affordable prize compared to the silver. In pastry precised measurements of ingredients define your output.

  2. 2

    Firstly add yeast to the warm milk,

  3. 3

    Mix, cover and keep aside for 5 min at least

  4. 4

    Measure flour keep aside

  5. 5

    In a bowl add egg, sugar, salt, butter and whisk,

  6. 6

    Add up the kept aside yeast and whisk, then add flour in bits and mix (note if the dough is too thick then add 1 -2 spoons of warm water to loosen a bit)

  7. 7

    Flour the working surface and Knead to form an elastic dough (not sticking to your hand) grease a bowl and place your dough

  8. 8

    Cover and let it rise for 1 hour

  9. 9

    After an hour deflate, knead for couple of minutes and roll

  10. 10

    Roll 1/2 an inch thick, cut into doughnuts shape. I don't have doughnut cutter so I improvised

  11. 11

    Flour a baking paper and place your pieces and space, cover and let it rise for another 1 hr

  12. 12

    After an hour it will puff up (that is the essence of spacing so that the pieces will not join together). On medium low, heat oil and fry till golden brown. Note if the heat is high it will get brown from the outside quick while the inside is not cooked yet. So medium low is best. Place the doughnuts on rack to cool before glazing.

  13. 13

    For glaze: add all ingredients and whisk and you are done.

  14. 14

    After whisking this what we have. Note if you are not using the glaze immediately then cover in an air tight container so that it will not dry up

  15. 15

    Cheers
