Churro donut holes

These are baked not fried, making them that LITTLE bit less heavy + greasy than a normal donut. I took them to my friends and they were very happy indeed.

This recipe is one of the reasons my instagram took off, so god bless the donut holes.

Recipe, makes enough for 4;

1 1/2 cups flour & 1 tbsp
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp Maldon salt

1 packet yeast
100ml buttermilk
1 big tbsp melted butter
1 egg
50ml milk

THE SUGAR COAT:
2 tbsp melted butter
4 tbsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

THE DIP:
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cacao/ cocoa powder
- drop milk

Method

  1. Mix all dry ingredients apart from yeast in bowl

  2. Mix milk, butter milk, melted butter, yeast and egg in a jug

  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix with a spatula until a really wet dough forms (don’t be tempted to add flour, at most add 1 tbsp)

  4. Mix in mixer for about 10 mins until dough forms - if you don’t have a mixer you can knead by hand, but you’ll need oil to grease the surface and your hands

  5. Add to greased bowl and leave to rise for 1 hour and a half in a warm place

  6. Roll out with a rolling pin on well floured surface and cut out donut holes with a small cookie cutter

  7. Leave to rise for 30 mins

  8. Melt 2 more tbsp butter, brush some over each one. Bake for 10-12 mins at 190

  9. Cool for a few mins, dip in melted butter and coat in cinnamon sugar.

  10. Whip all the dip ingredients. Serve with the dip.

Notes + Variations:

You can make these whatever flavour you want by switching up the dip, and dusting the outside with plain sugar, or even a sugar glaze.
