Donuts (English)

Today we'll prepare a super delicious and amazing recipe. These aren't traditional donuts you can buy in any supermarket, these donuts are those you see in a pastry shop with a super nice decoration and you stay looking at them for hours and thinking, I need to buy one of those and taste it.

Ingredients:

- 400g of Flour.

- 250ml of Milk.

- 1 Egg.

- 25gr. of Fresh Yeast

- 70g of Sugar.

- 50g of Butter.

- Orange zest.

Elaboration:

First boil the milk & orange zest in a cacerole, once boil, remove the orange zest and let temper the milk. Meanwhile, in a bowl mix the flour and sugar. Once mixed, add the egg and re-mix. Now dilute the yeast on the milk & then add it to the flour and mix well. Finally add the butter and mix until have a dougth, then we will make a ball with the dough and let stand for 40 minutes.

Once rested, we stretch out the dough until it's 1 cm thick and then cut the shape of donuts with a glass for example, and somewhat smaller for the hole inside. Put the donuts on baking paper and let  it stand for 1 hour. Then we cut the paper on which were the donuts and fry the donuts with the paper under, with this way will not stick to the bottom of the pan and will not burn. Fry all the donuts on both sides and put them on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.

There are thousands of ways to decorate, but I will show you two concrete ways. The first way will be strain the amount of jam you want (eg I slipped 2 tablespoons), we will strain the jam to remove any lumps, mix the jam with 100 grams of icing sugar, and you will get that mixture. Then add water, the amount depends on you, always depending on if you want a more or less liquid glaze. Once we have this, dip the donut on one or both sides and we can decorate them with some toppings.

The other way to decorate the donut is the same as before, all that happens is that in this case we will take 100 grams of the chocolate that we like and mix it with 100 grams of icing sugar. To that mixture add as before the amount of water we want and then dip the donut.
