Sugar Doughnuts

My maid has been pestering me to make some doughnuts every since she saw my KA mixer able to knead bread dough. I told her if I were to make on normal days, me and her would have to finish 20 biji of doughnuts in a day. Promised her I would make some on Sunday as on Sunday, there would be a huge crowd of children around.

This is a recipe I bookmarked long ago before I started baking breads. To save time, I knead the (A) part the night before, let rise for an hour and leave it in the fridge for about 18 hours. I don't know whether this affect my dough or not but it shouldn't as there are many recipes out there calling for overnight-dough-rising starter.

I am not careful enough when breaking my eggs and my hand slip so I only put in about 30gm of eggs. The rest of the egg I substituted with water.

The dough is also quite hard to manage because its very soft and I end up using quite a lot of flour to work the dough.

Nevertheless, this is a good doughnut recipe and its a keeper!!!
