DONUTS ORLANDO RECIPES

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in the bowl of a mixer and mix together with a dough hook, until you have a uniform, lightly sticky dough. Form dough into a ball with your hands, place on a floured surface and roll out until less than 1 centimeter (1/2 inch) high. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour.  Use sharp cookie cutters to cut risen dough into shapes. If you wish, you can transfer the donuts to squares of baking paper so that you don’t have to handle them with your hands, enabling them to keep their form better. Let the donuts rise for another 15 minutes as you heat the oil.  Pour a few inches/centimeters of oil into a pot, and heat until 160 degrees Celsius/320 degrees Fahrenheit. Be careful that the oil does not get too hot. Carefully lower each donut into the oil - with or without the baking paper - and fry until golden on each side. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. To serve: Donuts can be topped with powdered sugar, filled with a bit of your favorite donut filling, or eaten plain. Like any fresh donut, these sufganiyot taste best the moment they are cool enough to handle.
