Ingredients
To make delicious apple donuts at home, you will need the most common products:
- 2 large sweet and sour apples with any skin color;
- 2 tablespoons of wheat flour;
- 1 egg;
- 2 tablespoons of potato starch;
- 60 ml of water, pre-chilled in the refrigerator;
- 200 ml of vegetable oil (refined, odorless);
- a pinch of baking powder;
- cinnamon powder for sprinkling ready-made donuts.
Step by step recipe
First you need to prepare the batter, or dough, as you like. To do this, it is necessary to consistently mix certain foods.
- Combine potato starch with wheat flour in a bowl. Potato starch can be substituted for corn starch if desired. The consistency of the batter will not change from this, and the taste will become more delicate, sweet.
- Add a pinch of baking powder.
- Pour in the egg removed from the shell and half of the water (30 ml).
- Stir everything until smooth, so that a thin dough is obtained.
To prevent the batter from dripping from the apple slices, it is still thicker than the pancake dough, it must be whipped with a whisk. Gradually, in this case, it is necessary to pour in the rest of the water, achieving a mushy state.
Now it’s the turn of the apples. The fruit must be washed, peeled with a knife from seeds and peels. The inner part is easy to remove with a special device. It is necessary to cut each apple into circles with a round hole inside, in the manner of pineapple rings. The thickness of each piece should not exceed 5 mm, otherwise they will not cook well.
It remains to pour oil into a thick-bottomed frying pan, heat it well over medium heat. Then dip each apple ring into a doughy batter, place with a spoon in a frying pan.
The apple donuts should be fried on both sides, turning over with a wooden spatula, until they are browned.
All that remains is to put the fried pieces in batter on a plate, let the excess oil drain. Then the apple donuts should be sprinkled with cinnamon powder for aroma, and, if desired, powdered sugar. Serve hot or slightly cooled, with sour cream, sweet yogurt or tea. Another festive breakfast option is serving donuts on a plate with scoops of vanilla, chocolate ice cream.
