    Doughnuts

  1. Peel & cube potatoes into 2cm pieces

    - Put potato into simmer basket, put in bowl an fill with 400 ml water

    - Cook for 20-25 mins at 100oC speed 1. Make sure potatoes are well cooked, they start to fall apart when cooked.

    - Once cooked lift out simmer basket using spatula and was TM bowl.

    - Put potato back into bowl an chop for 8 secs on speed 4

    2. While potatoes are still warm add flour, yeast, sugar (100gms), butter, eggs and warm milk.  Gradually bring up speed to speed 8 and combine for 6-8 seconds.

    - Knead for 1-2 mins on interval speed.

    3. Turn out on floured surface an cut dough into smaller pieces.  With rolling pin roll out onto a circle about 1 cm thick.  Using a large scone cutter cut out pieces.  Using a smaller cutter, cut a small hole in the middle to make a doughnut shape. Alternatively, you could also roll walnut sized balls and roll them into 10 cm long sausages and shape them into donuts.

    4. Place cut pieces onto floured surface and stand covered for 30 mins or until doubled in size.

    5. Combine extra sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla sugar in a bowl.

    Great recipe ! I gave the dough a double rise (before cutting the doughnuts and then after). I only had a small scone cutter and thought I could just make doughnut disks but I think the hole is quite important for even cooking (the doughnuts without were quite doughy); I made the whole with my fingers (pushing through in the center).

    They were slighty chewy today. Very pleased with the recipe, thanks for uploading.
