Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk warm
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 sachet active dry yeast 7 g or 2 ¼ tsp
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 150 g cheddar cheese cut into strips
  • ½ cup powdered milk for coating
  • ½ cup powdered sugar for coating

Instructions

  • Combine warm milk and granulated sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the active dry yeast,
  • In a bowl, whisk the dry ingredients such as all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter and eggs.
  • Knead using a stand mixer for 6 minutes at medium speed. Alternatively, manually knead in a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes or until very smooth.
  • Transfer the dough into the greased bowl, cover with tea towel and let it rise for an hour.
  • Divide the dough into 14 pieces or more. flatten each dough and place a strip of cheese in the middle. Roll to seal them tightly. Arrange them in a prepared baking tray with parchment paper. Cover with tea towel and let it rise again for another 30 minutes.
  • Once the dough is ready, deep-fry them in hot oil until golden brown. You may also bake them in the oven at 160°C for 18 minutes. Place them in a cooking rack to remove excess oil.
  • Whisk powdered milk and powdered sugar. Toss each donut into the mixture until completely covered.
