Cinnamon Doughnuts
Makes: 14
Preparation: 20 m proving time
Cooking: 10 minutes
2 teaspoons dry yeast
1 ¼ cups buttermilk or milk, warmed
¼ cup caster sugar
4 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup light olive oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
Cinnamon sugar
1 cup caster sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1. In a small bowl, whisk the yeast into the
warmed buttermilk with 1 tablespoon of the
sugar. Mix well and stand in a warm place
for 10 minutes or until the mixture begins
to bubble.
2. Sift the remaining sugar, flour and salt into
a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and
mix through the oil, eggs and yeast mixture.
Mix to a soft dough.
3. Place mixture onto a lightly floured surface
and knead dough for about 10 minutes or
until dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place dough in a bowl; cover, and stand in
a warm place for about 40 minutes or until
dough has doubled in size.
5. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface
and knead again for about 5 minutes or
until smooth and elastic. Roll dough out to
a 1 cm thickness for a thinner donut or to a
1 ½ cm thickness for a thicker donut. To
cut doughnuts use either a doughnut cutter
or a 9cm cutter and a 3cm cutter. Place
doughtnuts onto a tray lined with baking
paper and cover with plastic wrap, stand in
a warm place for about 20 minutes.
6. Heat oil in wok on MED/MAX setting.
Note: See tips on deep frying in a wok on
page 7.
7. Cook doughnuts, in batches, turning once
during cooking, until golden in colour.
8. Drain doughnuts on paper towelling then
toss in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Tip: To make jam filled doughnuts, use a 7cm
cutter only. Once fried, toss with caster sugar
only and pipe some sieved jam into the centre
of the doughnuts. Makes about 20.

• Incorrect
temperature
• You may have to adjust the time and
temperature to desired taste. Refer to
"Temperature Setting Guide" section.
Burning Smell
• The temperature
on your control
probe is too high.
Adjust temperature
accordingly.
• Refer to "Temperature Setting Guide" section.
Heating
elements do not
stay ON
• Heating elements
will cycle ON and
OFF to maintain
proper heat
• The thermostat light on the control probe
indicates the temperature at which the dial
is set. The light will remain on until the set
temperature has been reached and then will
cycle on and off throughout the cooking.
This will ensure that the frypan and skillet
maintains the correct temperature. On the
initial heating of the frypan and skillet, it
is recommended that the temperature be
allowed to cycle (the light cycling on and
off) several times. This will help the cooking
surface to adjust to a more accurate cooking
temperature.
