Preparing the dough

Kneading the dough

Knead the dough well until the pieces of butter disappear and the dough becomes very elastic.

Place a cloth on your dough ball and let it rise for at least 2 hours in a warm room. Tap the ball of dough with the palm of your hand and knead it to remove the air.

Flour your work surface and, with a rolling pin, spread your ball of dough so as to obtain a height of about 5mm.

With a round cookie cutter (about 5 cm), cut out circles in the dough.

You can try chocolate donuts.

Flour your baking sheet and place your circles next to each other. Put a cloth over again and let rise for 3/4 of an hour.

Cooking the caramel donuts

Put the frying oil to heat in the fryer.

Make a first test with a single donut. It must be cooked in 3 minutes and get a golden color. Readjust the temperature if the donut is overcooked or undercooked.

Then put all your donuts in the fryer: once cooked, sprinkle with icing sugar or granulated sugar and place them on paper towel to absorb the excess oil.

Put the salted butter caramel in a pastry bag and stuff your donuts.
