Ingredients
Batter
- 60 grams salted butter, melted
- 100 grams fine granulated sugar
- 2 eggs large
- 250 ml buttermilk
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 500 grams self raising flour
- 1.25 ml grated nutmeg
- 2.5 ml salt
- oil for deep frying
Syrup
- 200 grams fine granulated sugar
- 250 ml water
- 5 ml lemon juice
- 5 ml butter
- 1 piece stick cinnamon, optional
Garnish
- 125 ml dessicated coconut, optional
Instructions
- Place melted butter and sugar in a large bowl and whisk for 3 minutes until the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Add the eggs, buttermilk and the vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
- Sift over the self-raising flour, add the salt and grated nutmeg and mix to a soft dough.
- Bring together into a ball and leave the dough to rest for 5 minutes.
- Flour the surface and roll out the dough until it is 1cm thick.
- Dip the cutter into flour and cut out the doughnuts and holes.
- Heat the oil in pot on medium-high and when the oil is hot enough place the doughnuts in the oil.
- Fry until golden, flip then fry on the other side until done.
- Remove and drain on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
- Boil the ingredients for the syrup until thick and glossy and add the completely cooled doughnuts.
- Boil the doughnuts in the syrup for 1-2 minutes on each side then remove to a serving plate sprinkled with the coconut, if using (this prevents the doughnuts sticking to the plate).
- Sprinkle more coconut over the top and serve warm or at room temperature.
