LITTLE CHOCOLATE FILLED
DONUTS
Makes 24
INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons dry yeast
½ cup warm milk
2 tablespoons caster sugar
50g butter, melted
2L cups plain flour, plus extra for kneading
2 eggs, beaten
50g dark chocolate bits
Chocolate icing
125g butter
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
250g icing sugar
¼ cup milk
METHOD
1. Combine the yeast, milk and half the
sugar into a large bowl. Set aside for
5 minutes or until bubble appear on
the surface.
2. Add butter, flour, eggs and remaining
sugar. Using a butter knife, cut mixture
until a soft sticky dough forms.
3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface
and knead for 3 minutes or until smooth.
Place into an oiled bowl, cover and stand
in a warm place for 30 minutes or until
doubled in size. Punch risen dough
and tip back onto a floured surface,
knead again for 2-3 minutes so that
the dough is smooth and very elastic.
Roll tablespoons of dough into balls
and place onto a baking tray lined with
baking paper. Push 2 chocolate bits into
the centre of each ball and roll to fully
enclose; set aside for 30 minutes to rise.
4. Fill deep fryer with 4 litres of oil. Set
deep fryer to DONUT/FRESH setting.
5. Place basket into lowered position and
carefully drop 4 or 5 balls into oil; cook,
turning over half way. Remove basket
and turn out donuts onto paper towel.
Repeat with remaining balls, making
sure to reheat oil between batches. Cool
donuts completely.
6. To make the icing, melt butter in a
saucepan over low heat and stir in cocoa.
Bring to the boil for 30 seconds and
remove. Stir in icing sugar and milk and
beat until smooth and glossy. Dip one
side of doughnuts into icing and cool
on a wire rack until set.
