AFRICAN DOUGHNUTS – TWISTED DOUGHNUTS

Give me these twisted doughnuts warm with a glass of milk and I will be in snacking heaven! These twisted doughnuts are life – slightly crunchy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside with an irresistible buttery flavor. They are a variation of African doughnuts which are made into twists – such fun shapes!

Ingredients:

• 4 cups all purpose flour (500g or 1/2 kg)
• 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 oz sachet)
• 12 oz evaporated milk (354ml or 1 3/4 cups)
• 3 tablespoons butter - melted
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt (not heaped)
• 1 egg

Instructions:

1. Heat the milk to be just slightly warm to the touch. I heated it for 1 minute in the microwave. The milk should be about 110 degrees Fahrenheit. 
2. Add the yeast to the milk and let it rest for 2 minutes. Add the sugar, salt, melted butter and egg then whisk everything together. Finally, add in the flour and mix with a wooden spoon to form a dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
3. Punch down dough to deflate then place on a floured board and cut into 24 equal pieces. (I start off by cutting the dough into two. Then cutting each piece into two twice to form 8 pieces. Then I cut every 1 of the eight pieces into 3. That makes 24 pieces.)
