Doughnuts

Doughnuts are a type of fried sweet dough confection. They are popular in many countries and prepared in various forms, they can be filled and almost always glazed. ‘Donut’ is a shortened Americanized word for ‘doughnut’ and is widely accepted in American and Canadian English. These delicious treats can be purchased at bakeries, supermarkets, food stalls and speciality vendors, BUT they are super easy to make.

One of the first times the word doughnut was mentioned was in the 1809 book; A History of New York, from the Begining of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty by Washington Irving. It eloquently defines the word; “[…] it was always sure to boast of an enormous dish of balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog’s fat, and called dough-nuts, or oly koeks: a delicious kind of cake, at present scarce known in this city, excepting in genuine Dutch families”. 

There are many different types of doughnuts, they are usually fried, but can be baked. The dough is usually flour-based and contains water, leavening, eggs, milk, sugar, oil, shortening, and flavours. Although there are many different recipes, these basic ingredients are normally used in some ratio. Once cooked the doughnut can be glazed with sugar icing, spread with icing or chocolate or topped with powder sugar, cinnamon, sprinkles or fruits.

Shapes

Doughnuts are typically ring-shaped but they could be a number of different designs without a hole, these can be injected with fruit jams, custard or other flavoured sweet fillings. Ring doughnuts are formed in one of two ways. The first method is by joining the ends of a long skinny piece of dough into a ring. The second technique cuts the out- and in-side shapes at the same time, naturally forming doughnut holes. Alternatively, a doughnut depositor places a circle of batter or liquid dough into the fryer 

Proudly South African

In South Africa, we have a variation called the Koeksister which is an Afrikaner braided confectionery soaked in honey or syrup. Also, the more traditionally shaped doughnut; the Cape Malay Koesister which is soaked in spiced syrup and coated in coconut.
