Topping for the doughnut is up-to your creativity. I’m mentioning the ingredients which I used in this recipe.

• Chocolate – Amul 55% Dark chocolate

• Nuts – 3 to 4 cashews
• Cake sprinkles (Bought from Bakerville )

Preparation:

Doughnut making steps:

• In a mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix well
• Now add the Vanilla essence, vinegar/lemon juice, curd and give it a mix
• Start adding enough amount of milk to the mixture and make a soft dough
• Do not over mix or knead the dough
• Now keep the softened butter in the centre of the dough and start tucking in the dough multiple times

• Cover it with a cloth and let it rest for 1 hour
• Now make balls out of the dough. Roll the balls into 1/2 inch thickness and cut it into a doughnut shape.
• Use any bottle cap, vessel cap or bowl to cut the doughnut if you do not have a doughnut cutter
• Fry the doughnuts in low-medium flame. Do not burn the doughnut

• Once the oil stops to sizzle, take out the doughnut and let it cool down in a plate
• The doughnut recipe is ready now !!!

Steps to garnish the doughnut:

• Chop the chocolate and pour molten butter into it to make chocolate sauce.
• Dip the doughnut in the chocolate sauce and sprinkle nuts, sugar, cake sprinkles as you wish.
• Voila!!! Cute looking yummy home made doughnuts is ready to eat!! Serve it hot for better taste!

Tips:

• When you roll the dough make sure its at least 1/2 inch thick so that you get puffy, soft and most importantly tasty doughnuts
• Garnishing is absolutely up to your creativity. Here are a few suggestions from me:
  • Any type of chocolate (white, dark, milk etc) you like can be used. You can make patterns with two different colours of the chocolate sauce
  • You can also use ready make chocolate or caramel syrups
  • Ready-made spreads like peanut butter, hazelnut or even Jam can be used
  • Also, you can simply roll it in a mixture of powdered sugar and cinnamon powder
  • I’ve tried dipping the doughnut in milkmaid and it has come out absolutely yum
  • Any types of dried fruits/nuts/petals can be used.
• This is a never-ending list. Please let us know your suggestions in the comments section
