Brief History:

Donuts have a fascinating history, being prepared over the centuries in various cultures. They have evolved from simple dough pastries to sophisticated delicacies loved worldwide. This recipe for dried donuts stands out for its crunchy texture and sweet aroma, perfect for serving on special occasions or simply to treat your family.

Step by Step:

1. Preparing the Dough: In a large bowl, add the 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar, the whole egg, vanilla sugar, and sour cream. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine the ingredients until you achieve a creamy mixture. It is important that all ingredients are at room temperature to obtain a uniform dough.

2. Adding Wet Ingredients: Continue by adding the milk, baking powder, and baking soda mixed with lemon juice. Mix well until the ingredients are fully integrated. This step is essential as the baking soda will help aerate the dough.

3. Incorporating Flour: Start adding the flour gradually, mixing with a spatula or your hands until you obtain a firmer dough. The dough should not be too soft but firm enough to roll out.

4. Forming the Sheets: On a clean surface greased with oil, roll out the dough with a rolling pin until you achieve a thin sheet, about 5 mm thick. Using a knife or a dough scraper, cut the dough into strips lengthwise, then diagonally, forming diamonds.

5. Creating the Donut Shape: In the center of each diamond, make a small hole. This is crucial as it will allow the dough to puff up during frying. Take the top and bottom points of the diamond and twist them through the hole formed. This technique will give the donuts an elegant look and allow the oil to penetrate better.

6. Frying the Donuts: In a deep pan, heat the oil to medium temperature. It is essential that the oil is hot but not smoking, to avoid burning the donuts. Fry the donuts on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Use a spatula to carefully turn them.

7. Finishing: After frying, remove the donuts onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil. While they are still hot, generously dust them with powdered sugar. This will add a sweet touch and make the donuts look appetizing.

Serving and Variations:

These donuts can be served as is or alongside a cup of tea or coffee. You can try pairing them with a chocolate glaze or caramel sauce for an extra burst of flavor. Additionally, you can add flavors like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a more complex taste.
