Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 12 doughnuts
Ingredients:
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 75 g sugar
- 1 packet of baking powder (about 10 g)
- A pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 150 ml milk
- 50 g melted butter, plus extra for greasing
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for decoration (optional)
Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Make sure you have all the ingredients at room temperature. This will help achieve a uniform and fluffy texture. Sifting the flour is an important step as it helps eliminate lumps and aerate the ingredients.
Step 2: Preparing the dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth mixture. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and gently mix until there are no traces of flour. Do not overmix, as you want the doughnuts to remain fluffy.
Step 3: Baking the doughnuts
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens). Grease a muffin tin with butter or use silicone molds. Fill each mold with dough, about 2/3 full, to allow the doughnuts to rise. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the doughnuts are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Decorating and serving
Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, you can sprinkle them with powdered sugar for an elegant touch. Serve the Marbella doughnuts warm or at room temperature, alongside a fragrant tea or coffee. They can be enjoyed plain or you can add a chocolate glaze for an extra burst of flavor.
Possible variations:
To add a twist to this simple recipe, you can incorporate some additional ingredients, such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or candied fruits into the dough. You can also experiment with various flavors, such as almond or orange extract, to customize the taste.
Marbella doughnuts are not only easy to make but also versatile, able to be adapted to each person's preferences. Enjoy this quick and simple dessert that is sure to become a favorite among family and friends!
The yeast is placed to rise with a tablespoon of granulated sugar, a little milk, mixed, and poured into the center of the flour, where a well has been made beforehand. After the yeast rises, the well-beaten eggs (the 2 whole eggs + the yolk), the remaining granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt are added, mixed with a wooden spoon, gradually adding the warm milk. When it is somewhat homogenized with the spoon, take the dough out onto the table and knead it very well until it becomes elastic. You should dust your hands with flour while kneading, not too much, just until the dough is ready; do not insist on the flour. Then I placed the dough in a bowl and let it double in volume (about 30 minutes). I turned the dough onto a floured table, and it doesn’t need to be kneaded anymore. Roll out a thicker sheet, cut shapes with the mouth of a glass, etc. Preferably small shapes. The leftover dough, I kneaded a little, rolled it out, and cut again. The doughnut shapes are left for about 10 minutes on the table and then fried. I didn’t have a deep pan, I fried the doughnuts in a non-stick pot. The oil should be well heated, the stove should be at a suitable heat, not too high. Fry the doughnuts in batches of 2-3; they cook very quickly, I was enchanted by how they rise to the surface in a few seconds. Turn them constantly, and when they are fried, take them out onto an absorbent napkin. Once all are ready, I put powdered sugar in a bowl and rolled them in it. Enjoy your meal!
