How to make cardamom donuts
Ingredients:
100g of strong flour
- 200g of white baking flour
- 80ml of milk
- 60g of unsalted margarine or butter
- 1 egg
- 40g of powdered sugar
1 sachet of yeast
- 18 fruits (capsules) of cardamom
- Salt
- High oleic sunflower oil for frying
Elaboration:
- Open the cardamom fruits and remove the seeds inside. Discard the fruit capsules. Grind the seeds with the help of a coffee grinder
- Place the butter, milk, and cardamom seeds in a bain-marie until they melt and are impregnated with the flavor of the aromatic seeds
- Mix the two types of flour with the yeast and salt
- In a bowl, beat the egg with the sugar and sift the previous flour mixture
- Add the other ingredients (melted butter, milk, cardamom) to the dough
- The dough should be compact, otherwise, add a little white flour
- Knead with a rolling pin until flat, about 1 centimeter thick
- Using a glass or other type of mold, cut out the shape of the donuts or whatever you like best
- Let the dough rest at room temperature for 20 minutes, until it rises or increases in volume by 3
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and, when it’s warm, fry the donuts. It’s not advisable to fry them at high temperatures, as this will make the crust too hard
- Drain on a plate lined with absorbent paper to remove excess oil
- You can paint it with some type of colorless jam (apple jam, for example), so that it has the characteristic bright color
