Churro donut holes
These are baked not fried, making them that LITTLE bit less heavy + greasy than a normal donut. I took them to my friends and they were very happy indeed.
This recipe is one of the reasons my instagram took off, so god bless the donut holes.
Recipe, makes enough for 4;
1 1/2 cups flour & 1 tbsp
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp Maldon salt
1 packet yeast
100ml buttermilk
1 big tbsp melted butter
1 egg
50ml milk
THE SUGAR COAT:
2 tbsp melted butter
4 tbsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
THE DIP:
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cacao/ cocoa powder
- drop milk
Method
Mix all dry ingredients apart from yeast in bowl
Mix milk, butter milk, melted butter, yeast and egg in a jug
Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix with a spatula until a really wet dough forms (don’t be tempted to add flour, at most add 1 tbsp)
Mix in mixer for about 10 mins until dough forms - if you don’t have a mixer you can knead by hand, but you’ll need oil to grease the surface and your hands
Add to greased bowl and leave to rise for 1 hour and a half in a warm place
Roll out with a rolling pin on well floured surface and cut out donut holes with a small cookie cutter
Leave to rise for 30 mins
Melt 2 more tbsp butter, brush some over each one. Bake for 10-12 mins at 190
Cool for a few mins, dip in melted butter and coat in cinnamon sugar.
Whip all the dip ingredients. Serve with the dip.
Notes + Variations:
You can make these whatever flavour you want by switching up the dip, and dusting the outside with plain sugar, or even a sugar glaze.
