Just a quick update :)



Quick and Easy Doughnuts
Ingredients :
source : videojug

2 eggs
170 gr sugar
1 cup yogurt
1 tbsp vanilla
a pinch of salt
45 gr melted butter
500 gr flour
2 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp baking soda

Directions :
1. Start your doughnuts by putting the 2 eggs and the sugar into a mixing bowl. Whisk them briskly until their appearance becomes very pale and fluffy.
2. Add the yoghurt, vanilla, salt and butter to the dough and mix it all together briefly.
3. Mix dry ingredients. You can now add the baking soda and the baking powder to the bowl of flour and mix them together a little bit. Next, add this dry mix to the egg mixture and combine them thoroughly. Be careful not to over-mix the dough or the resulting doughnuts will turn out tough.
4. Roll the dough out and cut it. Begin forming the doughnuts by sprinkling some flour upon the work surface and then dusting your hands with a little more flour. Now roll the dough out to a thickness of about half of a centimetre. Next, use the large cutter to cut out the doughnuts. You can then use the small cutter to cut out their centres. Set the doughnuts aside and combine the leftover dough with some new dough. Roll it out again and repeat the process until all the dough is used.



5. Fry. It is now time to fry your doughnuts. Place a saucepan with the oil over a medium heat. While waiting for the oil to heat up, you can prepare a tray by lining it with some paper towel. Now place the doughnuts into the hot oil a few at a time. Let them cook for about one minute until golden brown and turn them over. Cook the other side and place them on the tray. Repeat until all the dough is used.
6. Dust and serve. Place your doughnuts on a plate and liberally dust them with powdered sugar. Your doughnuts are now ready to serve! As a serving suggestion they can be glazed with strawberry, chocolate, or raspberry sauces.

Loukoumades

It began when Mindy posted an easy donut recipe, someone has mentioned about loukoumades. What's that? I've never heard before. And then I asked mr.google to find a clue. Let me summarized fo you :) Pronounced : loo-koo-MAH-thes. Kind of greek style doughnuts, some people call them greek honey tokens or greek honey fritters. During the third century B.C. they were the first prizes awarded to the winners of the ancient olympic.

So, I asked Mindy whether she wanted to make loukoumades and she accepted my offer. We had a deal to post the result on Thursday (July, 3). Want to join the fun with us? ;) Just find any recipes for loukoumades, make them and post them in your blog as well. Don't forget to let us know your url link to the post. No deadline. Simply for fun!

Finding a recipe for loukoumades was not an easy task. I've found dozen recipes and I was pretty sure no two were alike. There were recipes with egg, recipes without. Recipes that called for milk and recipes didn't mentioned anything about milk. Recipes with nutmeg and recipes without. My head started to spin, didn't know where's the original one.

Finally....because I love nutmeg, I went with this recipe which called for nutmeg. I didn't know how did they supposed to look like. But mine were crisp outside and spongy inside.



Soaked with honey, dusted with cinnamon and sprinkled with walnut made these puffy balls a perfect dessert. But better served warm.



Loukoumades

Ingredients :
2 1/4 ounces active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups warm water (105-115º) -- divided
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil for frying

SYRUP:
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

TOPPINGS:
Ground cinnamon to taste
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions :
In a mixing bowl,mix the yeast and sugar into 1/2 cup of the warm water. When the mixture turns foamy (about 5 minutes), stir in the remaining 1-1/2 cups warm water with the egg, flour salt, nutmeg and vanilla. Mix until the batter is thick but smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm spot to rise for about an hour. (don't stir again or it will deflate.) The result should be a bubbly batter.



In a deep fryer or a large heavy pot, heat four inches of oil to 375º F. making sure there are at least 2 inches between the oil surface and the top of the pot. This should take about 20 minutes.

While the oil is heating, prepare the syrup by combining the ingredients in a small bowl or a 2-cup measuring cup.

Working in batches, slide dollops of the batter (about the size of a heaping tablespoonful each) into the hot oil at a time, making sure not to crowd the pan. The dollops will puff up and float to the top. Turn the puffs occasionally with a slotted spoon until they are a deep golden brown on all sides and very crisp, about 2-4 minutes total. Remove carefully and drain on paper towels or brown paper bags.

Dust the puffs generously with cinnamon, drizzle with the honey-lemon syrup. and sprinkle with walnuts.

Tips : Have a cup of cold water into which you can wet a tablespoon and also the fingers of your hand each time. Wet the spoon so that the dough will not stick on it, take a spoon of the dough and using your hand or another spoon, push it down into the hot oil (take care not to burn yourself).
