discover 3 donut recipes

This season we already know that we can always count on one thing: a table full of sweets and joy, which make Christmas such a magical time. And, for that very reason, today we share with you three recipes of sons that will leave a delicious aroma throughout the house, as well as fill the stomach of almost magical flavors.

If you don’t know how to prepare it, then you are in the right place. We have the traditional version and two other alternatives. We just don’t know which one is the best, because they all seem like a good idea.

Filho – traditional recipe

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.
