Chilli Chocolate Doughnuts

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, chilli powder, and cocoa powder.

   Tip: Make sure to use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavour.

2. 2

   Add the unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the dough resembles breadcrumbs.

   Tip: Use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

   Tip: Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for the best results.

4. 4

   Add the egg mixture to the dough and mix until a sticky dough forms.

5. 5

   Add the chilli chocolate chips to the dough and mix until they are evenly distributed.

   Tip: You can adjust the amount of chilli chocolate chips to your desired level of spiciness.

6. 6

   Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

   Tip: Use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment or knead by hand.

7. 7

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

   Tip: Make sure the bowl is not too hot or cold for the dough to rise properly.

8. 8

   Preheat the oil in a deep frying pan to 180°C.

   Tip: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature.

9. 9

   Once the oil is hot, use a cookie scoop or a spoon to drop the dough into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

   Tip: Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.

10. 10

    Drain the doughnuts on paper towels and let them cool for a few minutes before glazing.

    Tip: You can glaze the doughnuts with a simple powdered sugar glaze or get creative with different toppings.
