Cooking Instructions
- 1
Fully melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and add milk, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well until everything is well dissolved. Break an egg into the mixtures and mix well. Add the yeast and stir. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- 2
Add 3 cups flour and mix well with a wooden spoon. When everything is well mixed, use your hand to knead the dough for a few minutes, and shape it into a big lump. Cover with plastic wrap.
- 3
Let the dough rise until it double it size, usually about 1 hour.
- 4
Deflate the gas with your hand and knead the dough for a few minutes until it’s soft and smooth. Cover with plastic wrap again and let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour until it doubles in size again.
- 5
Uncover the dough and knead it for a few minutes. Put 2 tablespoons of flour on the corner of your cutting board to use for dusting. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces.
- 6
Take a piece of dough and roll it out on your cutting board so it forms a rope. If it’s sticky, sprinkle some flour on the area you’re working in. When you roll out the dough, move one hand upward and the other downward so that the rope is twisted in between your hands as you roll it.
- 7
Take the dough off the board, hold it aloft, and bring the ends together. The tension in the dough will twist it as it hangs. You can add as much tension as you like, but I think the best looking kwabaegi has 3- 4 twists in it.
- 8
Place the twisted dough on a floured cutting board or tray. Repeat with the rest of the pieces of dough.
- 9
Let the doughnuts expand for about 30 minutes. 15 minutes in, gently flip each doughnut over with your hands so the bottoms don’t get flat and all sides expand nice and round.
- 10
Heat uoil in a deep pan over medium high heat. Lower the heat to medium heat, then gently set each doughnut into the hot oil by hand. Be careful not to get your hands too close to the oil. Add as many pieces to the oil as your pan will allow, enough so the doughnuts can sit in the oil without pushing against each other.
- 11
Cook for about 5 minutes, occasionally gently flipping them over with tongs, until they get crunchy outside and are evenly golden brown.
- 12
Strain the cooked doughnuts. Put them in the brown paper bag with the sugar, milk and cinnamon mixture. Shake a few times until they are evenly coated. This is best done when the doughnuts are still warm. Repeat this with all the doughnuts until they are all cooked and coated.

Hint of Cinnamon Baked Sugar Doughnuts Hint of Cinnamon Baked Sugar Doughnuts
I do not like doughnuts.I just wanted to put that out there right off the bat. In no way do I like doughnuts. They do nothing for me. To me, they are greasy and very heavy.That is, until I tried Apple Cider Doughnuts and doughnuts from Doughnut Plant on West 23rd Street in the New York City. The doughnuts there are a work of art. I highly recommend them.Recently, someone suggested to me that I should try baked doughnuts. Supposedly, they are not greasy and heavy, since they are not fried. As usual, I picked and chose ingredients from different recipes to make them the way that I like them, since I am so picky.My wonderful & beautiful wife and I bought some doughnut pans and came up with this recipe. At first, I was skeptical if I would like them, but I really do like them. They are so good.As my wife suggested, this recipe is a great starting point. We can use this as our basis and go from there. I hope that you enjoy them as much as we do.These doughnuts make a dozen 4 inch doughnuts.Enjoy!

Les Bugnes (French Donuts) Les Bugnes (French Donuts)
Let’s discover the world of French pastry one delicious recipe at a time and so far it has been great. The word bugne means "beignet" in French, which means donut in English, but don’t be confused they are not the same. They are an old pastry that existed already in Roman times and were consumed at the time of "caranval" or Mardi Gras & Fat Tuesday, the last day before the 40 days of Lent leading up to Easter. Almost every European country has its own version. I got to know this French version in the Pinterest and use google for translating in to English version with some modification to taste my buds.#mycookbook -
Melt-in-your-mouth Hawaiian Malasada Donuts Melt-in-your-mouth Hawaiian Malasada Donuts
I referred to a recipe from a malasada wagon, and adapted it so be easier to make in a home kitchen.It's a variation of "Melt-in-your-mouth Krispy Kreme style donuts".To stop the dough from rising, fry the donuts as soon as the 2nd rising is complete.The sugar doesn't stick well unless the donuts are freshly fried, so as soon as the oil has drained off, put the donuts in plastic bags.Coat the donuts one at a time. Since they are big, if you try to do them 2 at a time it won't go well... For 12 donuts. Recipe by pogue
