Filho – traditional recipe

Kitchen:typical portuguese

Type:dessert

Setup time:00:30

Ingredients

  • 500gr unbleached flour type 55
  • 1 orange, with juice and zest
  • 1dl brandy
  • 4 eggs
  • 0.5dl warm milk
  • 40gr baker’s yeast
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 c. sugar soup

preparation method

  • In a bowl, add the milk, eggs, brandy, orange juice and beat lightly.
  • Place the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and orange zest on the table to form a pile.
  • Make a hole in the middle to put the liquids and knead very well.
  • After kneading well, when the dough comes away from your hands, form a ball and place in a covered container, in a relatively warm place, for about 2 hours. This will allow the dough to rise and double in size.
  • Remove pieces of dough, preferably with oiled hands, stretch with your fingers and fry until golden brown.
  • As soon as you put the pieces of dough in oil with the help of the soup ladle, press the center a little until the ends rise a little, to form that “dimple” that the donut has.
  • Remove from the oil as soon as they are golden, and place on a plate with absorbent paper.
  • Cover with sugar and cinnamon.
