Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml whole milk
- 7 grams dry active yeast
- 50 grams granulated erythritol
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 5 grams salt
- 2 grams ground nutmeg
- 1000 ml vegetable oil for frying
- 50 grams powdered erythritol for dusting
Instructions
Warm the whole milk to about 40°C (104°F) and pour it into a large mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the dry active yeast over the warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add the granulated erythritol, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the milk and yeast mixture. Whisk well until fully combined.
In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and ground nutmeg together.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing continuously with a spatula or dough hook attachment if using a stand mixer. Once the mixture forms a dough, knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air, then roll it out on a floured surface to about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thickness.
Using a doughnut cutter or two round cutters of different sizes, cut out doughnuts and place them on a lined baking sheet. Cover them lightly and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 180°C (350°F). Carefully lower the doughnuts into the oil, a few at a time, being cautious not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry them for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Remove the doughnuts using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Once the doughnuts are slightly cooled but still warm, dust them with powdered erythritol.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your sugar-free classic fried doughnuts!
