Doughnuts!!

My father says that my ways of cooking are unconventional. My reply to him has always been the same, “As long as I am getting results, what’s the big deal?”

As you see, I cook by my own rules. I am not the kind of person who keeps all the ingredients ready beforehand. I follow the recipe and always end up making a big mess. And it wasn’t different on that particular Sunday when I suddenly decided to make some fried doughnuts.

As I mentioned before, I am not very organized when it comes to cooking/baking, so when I was supposed to mix milk with active dry yeast, I had to use water instead because my Aunt used the milk to make caramel custard. But it didn’t stop me from making a dessert, that I had wanted to make since the time I started baking. Then after 10 minutes, I poured out the bloomed yeast into a container along with vanilla essence and butter and started whisking. After that, when I checked the recipe again, I realized that I also had to whisk 2 eggs into the batter. Spoiler alert, I didn’t have any eggs left at home because my Aunt had used them. What a DISASTER😡!! I was so furious beacause everything was falling apart. So I literally ran to get some milk and eggs from the nearby supermarket. I was really worried because I didn’t want the yeast to die before I even added the flour. I came back as quickly as possible. I whisked in the eggs and added a little milk for creamy texture. Then I added the flour and powdered sugar in the most messy way possible (there was flour everywhere including on the table as well as my clothes).

I let the dough rest for 1 hour. In the meantime, I prepared some royal icing to glaze my doughnuts. After that I cut the dough by a cookie cutter and deep fried them. I let them cool and then glazed them. I also garnished them with walnuts.

I know they looked messy but I was really happy to have finally made the dessert that I have always wanted to make.
