Name: Best Baked Doughnuts (Donuts)
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 eggs; 250 g sugar; 250 ml milk; 220 g shortening (I used half butter and half margarine); 1 teaspoon vanilla essence; 500 g plain flour; 9 g baking powder; 6 g salt; 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Servings: persons

2 eggs
250 g sugar
250 ml milk
220 g shortening (I used half butter and half margarine)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
500 g plain flour
9 g baking powder
6 g salt
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1
Sift flour with salt, baking powder, cinammon and nutmeg.
2
Melt the shortening in a small bowl in the microwave and allow to cool.
3
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy and gradually add the sugar while beating constantly.
4
Add the milk alternately with the melted shortening and then add the vanilla essence.
5
Add the flour mixture and beat until combined.
6
Cover and chill in fridge for around 30 minutes until dough is firm.
7
Grease a doughnut pan with 12 holes carefully.
8
Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees celcius (450 F) with the fan-forced option on.
9
Carefully spoon the cool dough into a large piping bag with a large plain nozzle and pipe a ring of dough into each hole.
10
You can just use a small spoon to fill the doughnut pan but it takes ages and isn't as even. I used a disposable bag, filled it then snipped a hole at the end to pipe the mixture.
11
Bake for around 10 minutes or until doughnut has risen and is lightly browned.
12
Turn out onto a wire-rack to cool.
13
Ice with chocolate glaze, doughnut icing (e.g.Recipe # 179685 ) or dip in half a cup of melted butter and then toss in a cup of sugar mixed with a teaspoon of cinammon.
