Ingredients
Warm milk
250 g
Dry yeast
1 tablespoon
Pressed yeast
25 g
Sugar
4 tablespoons
Salt
1 pinch
Vanilla sugar
half of teaspoon
Large chicken eggs
2
Unsalted butter
60 g
Cognac (to your taste)
1 tablespoon
Vegetable oil for frying
as desired
Method of preparation
1
Start by adding the yeast to warm milk, a tablespoon of sugar, and mix everything. Let it sit for 15 minutes
2
Then add vanilla, the remaining sugar, melted butter. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved, and you should have a mixture of medium thickness. Add cognac. Mix
3
Beat eggs with salt until you get a fluffy foam. Add sifted flour, mix, and let it sit for 20 minutes
4
Combine both mixtures and knead thoroughly; the dough should not stick to your hands. Form a ball and let it sit for another 30 minutes at room temperature
5
Grease a baking sheet or a work surface with oil. The final and most important step of the recipe is to roll out the dough to a thickness of no more than one centimeter and cut out classic-sized circles, about 10 centimeters in diameter. Leave them for 15 minutes to let the dough rise
6
Before serving, place the pastries on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Classic donuts are usually sprinkled with powdered sugar before serving, but you can also try them with jam, condensed milk, or chocolate spread
Cooking tips
