4 servings
45 minutes
American donuts with chocolate glaze are a symbol of comfort and sweet delight from the fast-food culture of the USA. Their airy texture is achieved thanks to buttermilk, which gives the dough tenderness and a slight tang. Donuts covered in melted chocolate acquire a rich, deep flavor with velvety sweetness. They are perfect for morning coffee or friendly gatherings. The simplicity of preparation makes them accessible even for novice cooks, while the variety of glazes allows for experimentation with different flavors. Their popularity has spread worldwide, becoming an integral part of pastry art.
1
If there is no way to buy buttermilk, we prepare it ourselves: mix 1 cup of milk + 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and let it sit in a warm place for 30 minutes. The milk will curdle and thicken, resulting in buttermilk.
- Milk: 1 glass
- Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
2
Sift 1 1/4 cups of flour, add baking powder, 0.5 cups of sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Wheat flour: 1.3 glass
- Baking powder (raising agent): 1 teaspoon
- Sugar: 0.5 glass
3
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla.
- Chicken egg: 2 pieces
- Buttermilk: 0.5 glass
- Clarified butter (ghee): 2 tablespoons
- Vanillin: 0.5 teaspoon
4
Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Grease the donut mold with oil, filling the molds halfway with the batter.
- Clarified butter (ghee): 2 tablespoons
5
Bake in a preheated oven at 210 degrees for 4-6 minutes and let them sit in the oven for another 5 minutes to cool before removing.
