donut thread!

I think I've come to the right place, (Britfag here) I want to start making some next level donuts.

Can we have pictures, recipes or names of some good donuts?

Is coconut a good idea?

ItaliAnon who grew up in southeast Asia here.
My two favourite doughnuts come from my home and adopted cultures.
1) Zeppole (zehp-poh-leh) napoletane/graffie (grahf-fyeh)
Yeast-risen potato dough doughnuts flavoured with lemon, deep-fried and dusted with granulated sugar fresh out of the fryer. Grolious.
2) Kaya donuts with sweet coconut flake.
Yeast-risen doughnuts filled with kaya, a coconut-flavoured custard similar to Neapolitan zabaglione (dsah-bah-lyoh-neh) where egg yolks and sugar are beaten together until light in colour and frothy. The difference being is that where zabaglione ends (just sugar and yolk), kaya only just begins. It is then mixed with heavy coconut milk and even more sugar then cooked in a double boiler until thick and shiny. Once out of the fryer, they are rolled, still hot, in sweetened flakes of coconut.
So. Fucking. Good.
So yes: coconut is a good idea.

Well, in SEA, doughnuts are not just sweet but can also be sweet-and-salty or even sweet-and-salty-and-pungent/spicy/hot.
Examples are plain dough white-chocolate-and-white-cheese coated doughnuts and plain dough doughnuts coated in hot-and-spicy meat floss (usually chicken floss since pork floss is not allowed by muslims and beef floss is not allowed by hindus and some buddhists).
Back home, we don't have many different types of doughnuts, per se, but there is something Persian-influenced Greeks brought back with them. It's a fried dough dish similar to gulab jamun that we call 'struffoli.' They're lemon-flavoured dough nuggets that are tossed with candied sprinkles (most commonly) or pearled sugar (uncommon, but WAY better) and hot honey. The original is a much larger dough nugget made from curds and barely milled wheat berries that are held together with gram flour and are boiled in honey then tossed with fennelseeds and curled zests of lemon. The original dessert dates back 3-4 millenia while the Greco-Neapolitan version dates back to just after the days of Alexander, so only about 2000 years ago.

Sure thing.
Here's an image of the recipe. If you'd like me to type it out, I can do that too. The recipe calls for shortening, but says you can use butter instead. I personally like to use lard, because it honestly has a better finished texture than using butter or shortening, but if you don't use lard, I recommend the shortening. Butter won't give them the right texture IMO.
Anyway, this is the best recipe for yeast donuts I've ever tried, It came out of an ancient community cookbook from the 1930s.

You need a doughnut gun, though, IMO.

My male progenitor's adoptive mother (dat blood line) used to make rolled potato doughnuts that were dry and crumbly. Not to mention that they tasted of rancid shortening.

What is the effect of the scalded milk, as opposed to normal?

>> No.4074462

It keep the temperature of your dough warm, so the yeast can perform better. Also, heating milk deactivates a particular enzyme in it, which can keep breads from rising.

You mean counter-productive. Someone might use intuition to think adding a hot liquid would kill the yeast so would use a cold one.

from Yahoo UK Answers:

A solicitor is a lawyer in the UK, so is a barrister.

If you need a lawyer for any reason (police prosecution, divorce, conveyancing, private prosecution etc) you consult a solicitor. Depending on the case, the solicitor may be able to do all the work themselves. If not they will contact a barrister who will also represent you. The barrister is the one who wears a wig and gown in court and can either prosecute or defend.
