Donuts with icing of maple syrup

Donuts have a special place in our hearts as they are the perfect dessert for our breakfast or to accompany our coffee. And of course you can not resist them and eat only one.

If you have the same fondness for donuts, it’s time to learn how to make them yourself in your kitchen. The following recipe for donuts with maple syrup icing is exactly what you need!

Materials:

3 1/2 cups flour for all uses
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
a little salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup sour cream
oil for frying

For the icing:

3 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons butter
3-4 tablespoons milk

Implementation:

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

In a medium bowl, using a mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest until white and thickened. Slowly add the melted butter and beat until smooth. Add half the cream and beat well to combine. Add the rest of the cream and beat until completely homogeneous.

Pour the liquid ingredients into the solids bowl and use a spatula to mix until combined.

Spread the dough with a spoon on a large piece of plastic wrap and wrap it tightly. Put the donut dough in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight.

When you are ready to make the donuts, heat a saucepan with enough oil (enough to cover the donuts) at a moderate temperature of 200 degrees.

While your oil is warming, lightly flour a work surface and spread the donut dough. Sprinkle with a little flour and open it to a thickness of about 2 cm. Using a donut cutter, cut the 12 donuts.

Once the oil is warm, gently place 2-3 donuts at a time in the oil to cook. Once the donuts are floating on top, let them bake for about another minute before turning them over and frying for an extra minute on the other side.

Once cooked, take them out of the pot, using a slotted spoon to drip the excess oil into the pot. Place the cooked donuts on a grill to cool and drip all the excess oil.

Let them cool for a few minutes before dipping them in the icing.

For the icing:

Put the butter in a saucepan over medium heat to melt. Once melted, raise the temperature slightly until golden brown. Remove from the heat and transfer to a mixing bowl.

Add the icing sugar, vanilla, maple syrup and 2 tablespoons milk. Beat all the ingredients together until smooth. If the icing is too thick, add the extra milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Once the donuts have cooled a bit, dip 3/4 of the donuts in the icing, and return the iced donuts to the grill.

Let the donuts sit for about 10 minutes, so that the icing stabilizes just before serving.
