Donut Recipe
- 2 cups water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 6 whole eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 2 cups flour
- Pour water into a pot.
- Add the butter and sugar into the water. Stir the mixture a little to dissolve the sugar but there no need to break up the butter since it will melt.
- Put the pot on high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. You don't need to stir too often, just wait until it comes to a boil.
- Lower the heat to medium.
- Add the flour into the pot and stir, and stir, and stir. This is the hard part.
- Keep stirring the mixture until a think film of dough sticks to the bottom of the pot.
- Place the dough into the mixer while still hot.
- Mix the dough until it cools down. There will be steam rising from the dough. When there's almost no more steam, then it's ready for the eggs.
- Add an egg into the dough. Wait until the egg is fully mixed in.
- Add the other eggs one at a time, always waiting until the egg is fully mixed in.
- After the whole eggs are incorporated into the dough, then add the additional egg whites. The dough should be softer and smoother now, soft enough to put into a pastry bag.
- Prepare a pastry bag with a 1M tip.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper coated with oil.
- Pipe donut circles into the baking sheet.
- Cut the parchment paper so that each donut is in it's own square.
- Prepare a pot of oil, bring it to 350 degrees then put the heat to medium.
- Drop one donut circle into the oil, carefully pulling the parchment paper off.
- Cook the donut until golden brown on each side.
- Remove the cooked donut and place into a cooling rack.
- You can then glaze or sugar the donut with your choice of glaze or sugar. Two of our favorite recipes are below.
