Baked Eggless Donuts


Baked Eggless Donuts


After Croissants the family choice is doughnuts or donuts for quick filling bites on the go while abroad trips. They are easy to be be tucked in our back packs and serve as anytime munch with no much mess. After every US visit I have a strong urge to try them and I you hadn't come across this winner recipe of fried homemade donuts (with egg), they're there still staying warm.

National Doughnut Day is celebrated in the US on the first Friday of June which was June 1st this year, so perhaps it’s somewhat apt that the We Knead To Bake group is baking yeasted doughnuts chosen by Aparna this month. Baked Donuts are the ones which I haven't tried so far and I am excited to have it around.

So now to talk about baked Doughuts, what type you make is entirely up to you. You can make plain cinnamon sugar ones, jam filled ones or even glazed ones. You are free to use any glaze of your choice. You can try sugar gazes, chocolate glazes or be more adventurous with them. Here are some recipes for glazes.

You need to be a bit careful about a couple of things when making these doughnuts. The first thing is make sure your dough is 1/2” thick before cutting out your doughnuts. Also make sure that the doughnuts do not lose their shape when you transfer them from your work surface to the baking sheets or you will end up with “wonky” looking doughnuts when they bake! Also make sure that whatever you use to cut the doughnuts is sharp so that it makes it easy to lift them off. Also that you do not too much of a twisting motion while cutting them out, as these can cause your doughnuts to not rise properly.
