  • Directions

    Doughnuts

    1. In a medium size saucepan, heat milk to proper temperature. Whisk in canola oil and eggs. In large mixer bowl, using dough hook attachment, combine yeast, sugar, 2 cups flour, nutmeg and salt. Add combined liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well. Beat ingredients for 1 – 2 minutes.
    2. With mixer turned on add enough extra flour to form a smooth elastic ball of dough. The dough should be barely sticky. Beat the dough for 5 – 6 minutes.
    3. Let dough rest for 10 minutes, covered, in mixer bowl. Roll dough to 1.25 cm (1/2 inch) thickness, on floured counter top.
    4. Cut doughnuts, using a doughnut cutter or a 5 – 7.5 cm (2 – 3 inch) cookie cutter. Transfer circles to a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover with clean cloth and let rise in warm place for approximately 45 minutes or until doughnuts have doubled in size.
    5. Bake doughnuts at 375ºF (190ºC), about 8 – 10 minutes, or until doughnuts are golden in colour.

    Topping

    1. Combine sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in medium size bowl. While doughnuts are still warm, lightly brushes tops with canola oil and quickly dip tops in the sugar mixture

    2. Fit pastry bag with small round tip and fill bag with icing. Carefully poke a small hole in the side of the doughnut (careful nut to go all the way through).
    3. Insert the tip of the pastry bag into the hole of each doughnut and carefully squeeze the bag to fill doughnuts with icing.
    4. Serve immediately.
