Cumpkin recipe (ingredients):

• 0, 5 liters of curdled milk, which, if necessary, can be replaced with kefir;
• 0, 5 teaspoons of s alt and the same amount of soda;
• incomplete canteenspoonful of sugar;
• one egg;
• about five cups of flour.

How to make dough?

Judging by the ingredients, you can guess that the recipe for kefir donuts is so simple that even a complete layman in the kitchen can cook them. Pour sugar, s alt and soda into kefir, mix and leave for a couple of minutes: the mass will begin to foam and bubble. This is a signal that it is time to lay the flour (it must be sifted beforehand) and knead the soft dough. The amount of flour in the recipe is indicated approximately, since the quality of this component is always different, depending on the gluten, and yogurt can be of varying degrees of density.

Flour should be poured in small portions and constantly stirred well, achieving a soft lump of dough, which will be very pliable and a little sprawling. It shouldn't be scary. After all, the softer the dough, the more magnificent the finished products will be.

Knead the dough on a table dusted with flour and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Then you can start baking.

Heat treatment

Usually, according to the recipe, donuts are fried in a pan in a large amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil, then the products fully justify their name and swell up with a lush cloud. Roll out the dough on the table with a rolling pin to a thickness of one cm and cut into pieces of arbitrary shape (usually squares or triangles).

Placing small donuts in well-heated oil, fry them until a rich ruddy color, turning in the process with a slotted spoon or fork. Spread readyproducts should be on paper so that it absorbs excess fat, which allows the donuts to keep their crust.

If there is no time for long manipulations with the dough, then you can cut out large circles (slightly smaller than the diameter of the pan) and fry them in this form. This option is not as attractive in appearance, but sometimes helps those who are pressed for time.

Yeast Dumplings: Necessary Ingredients

The recipe for yeast dough donuts is a little more complicated, but it's worth it: products from it are very soft, airy. It is impossible to break away from them. The recipe contains the following ingredients:

• 400ml fresh milk;
• 6-8 grams dry yeast;
• 80 grams of butter (any);
• two egg yolks;
• 60 grams of sugar;
• 1/2 tsp s alt;
• about 800 grams of flour.

Step cooking

Step 1. Warm milk to body temperature and dissolve sugar and s alt, as well as yeast in it. Leave warm for a few minutes to activate the yeast: a head of foam appears on the surface of the milk.

Step 2. In a separate bowl, melt the butter (preferably in a water bath), add the yolks to it and grind thoroughly. Add the egg mass to the yeast mass, mix and, adding flour in small parts, knead everything thoroughly.

Step 3. It is important not to abuse the amount of flour so as not to spoil the dough: the softer it is, the tastier the donuts will become. Knead the dough on the table for10 minutes, achieving perfect elasticity, and then place in a clean dish and cover with a towel. Leave in a warm room for an hour or an hour and a half: the dough should double in volume.

Step 4. If the temperature in the room is satisfactory, then the mass will come up very quickly, and if it has not grown in an hour, you need to find a place warmer. Roll out the finished dough into a layer one centimeter thick, cut into donuts of any shape and fry in oil, as described above.

With garlic

The recipe for donuts, which are cooked in Ukraine for borscht, is also not difficult: its ingredients are usually available to everyone due to their cheapness.

• 1 tbsp spoonful of sugar;
• 1 teaspoon without a hill of s alt and the same amount of soda;
• you can add one egg if you wish, but this is not necessary;
• 3, 5-4 cups flour.

The dough is kneaded in the traditional way: s alt and sugar are dissolved in kefir, an egg and soda are added. Then, constantly stirring the mass with a spoon, flour is introduced. The dough is kneaded until thick. Then kneading by hand continues. What to do next?

It is necessary to knead the dough on the table and roll it into a layer, cut into strips 2 cm wide and 5-8 cm long, or simply into squares with a side of five centimeters. Deep-fry until golden brown, turning with a fork as you go. Ready donuts are laid out on paper to remove excess fat, and thenplaced in a wide bowl and poured with garlic sauce.

How to make garlic sauce?

For the preparation of fragrant gravy, garlic is used in an arbitrary amount. If you want to be sharper, then you should take four five cloves per 1 glass of liquid. Peel the teeth and grind in a press, mix with 1/2 teaspoon of s alt and a pinch of black pepper. Add 0.5 cups of boiled water, mix and let the mass cool to room temperature. Pour over the donuts and stir so that the spicy mixture is evenly distributed over the products.
