QUICK COFFEE-GLAZED DONUT

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 10 donuts

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil, for frying
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
1 cup whole milk, plus more if needed
1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Rainbow sprinkles, for topping

Steps:

  • Fill a large wide pot with 3/4 inch of oil and heat to 360 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the butter, egg and 3/4 cup of the milk in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredient to the dry and mix with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Lightly flour a work surface and turn out the dough; knead a few times until it comes together,
  • Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece between your hands to make a ball and flatten each ball into a 3-inch-wide disk. Use your fingers to rip a hole in the center of each and gently spread each hole so that it is about 1 inch wide.
  • When the oil is hot, fry the donuts in batches, turning once, until deep golden brown all over, about 3 minutes per batch. Return the oil to 360 degrees F between batches. Transfer the donuts to a paper towel-lined tray as they are cooked; cool at least 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, warm the remaining 1/4 cup milk in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the coffee and stir to dissolve. Add the confectioners' sugar and whisk until smooth. Add enough additional milk to make the glaze a nice coating consistency.
  • Dip one side of each donut in the glaze and place on a plate. Sprinkle with the rainbow sprinkles. Serve warm or at room temperature.

COFFEE-GLAZED ITALIAN DOUGHNUTS (ZEPPOLE)



Coffee-Glazed Italian Doughnuts (Zeppole) image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)
2 teaspoons espresso powder
2 cups powdered sugar
Water, as needed
1 (3-ounce) chocolate bar, optional
1 cup raspberries, optional

Steps:

  • For the doughnuts: In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally. Boil for 10 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and add the flour. Using a wooded spoon, quickly stir the mixture until all the flour is fully incorporated and forms a thick dough. Return the pan to the heat and stir continuously for 2 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a stand mixture fitted with a paddle attachment. With the machine running on medium speed, add the eggs and egg yolk, 1 at a time until fully incorporated. Beat the mixture for 4 to 5 minutes until thick and glossy. Add the lemon zest and beat until smooth. Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes.
  • For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream, coffee liqueur, and espresso powder until smooth. With a wooden spoon, gradually stir in the powdered sugar until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, stir in the water, 1/4 teaspoon at a time.
  • In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in a couple of minutes.)
  • Using a small ice cream scoop or 2 small spoons, carefully drop scoops (about 1 tablespoon) of the dough into the oil. (Do not crowd the pan,) Cook for 3 to 3 1/2 minutes, turning occasionally, until the zeppole are golden and puffed. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all of the dough has been used. When the zeppole is cool enough to handle, dip the top halves in the glaze.
  • Using a hand grater, grate the chocolate, if using, over serving plates. Place 3 to 4 zeppole on each plate and garnish with fresh raspberries, if using. Serve immediately.

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • For the chocolate donuts: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spray a 12-cavity donut pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk together the coffee, buttermilk, oil, vanilla and egg in a separate medium bowl until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
  • Transfer the batter to a piping bag. Fill each cavity with batter until it comes about three-quarters of the way up the sides of the pan.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a rack and cool completely.
  • For the coffee glaze: Mix together the confectioners' sugar, coffee and milk in a bowl until smooth. If it seems too thick, add more coffee little by little.
  • Dip each donut halfway into the glaze, then allow excess to drip off. Sprinkle the tops with hazelnuts and sprinkles. Let set, about 30 minutes.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h9m

Yield 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast or 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons warm water
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus
additional all-purpose flour, for sprinkling and rolling out dough
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
10 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)
1/4 cup boiling-hot water
5 teaspoons instant espresso powder or 5 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sanding sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • DOUGH:.
  • Stir together yeast and warm water in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If yeast doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.).
  • Mix together flour, milk, butter, yolks, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and yeast mixture in mixer at low speed until a soft dough forms. Increase speed to medium-high and beat 3 minutes more.
  • Scrape dough down side of bowl (all around) into center, then sprinkle lightly with flour (to keep a crust from forming). Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. (Alternatively, let dough rise in bowl in refrigerator 8 to 12 hours.).
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round (1/2 inch thick). Cut out as many rounds as possible with 3-inch cutter, then cut a hole in center of each round with 1-inch cutter and transfer doughnuts to a lightly floured large baking sheet. Cover doughnuts with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until slightly puffed, about 30 minutes (45 minutes if dough was cold when cutting out doughnuts). Do not reroll scraps.
  • Heat 2 1/2 inches oil in a deep 4-quart heavy pot until it registers 350°F on thermometer. Fry doughnuts, 2 at a time, turning occasionally with a wire or mesh skimmer or a slotted spoon, until puffed and golden brown, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain. (Return oil to 350°F between batches.).
  • GLAZE:.
  • Stir together boiling-hot water and espresso powder in a medium bowl until powder is dissolved, then stir in confectioners sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • Dip doughnuts into glaze, turning to coat well, then put on a rack set in a shallow baking pan (to catch any drips). While glaze is wet, sprinkle doughnuts with sanding sugar (if using). Let stand until glaze is set, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark roast coffee in the dough and glaze.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To make sure the doughnuts are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, they're done.
  • For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner glaze, add more coffee.
  • To make the doughnuts extra special, sprinkle them with chopped nuts or chocolate chips before glazing.

Conclusion:

These coffee doughnuts with coffee glaze are the perfect way to start your day or enjoy as a sweet treat. They're light and fluffy, with a rich coffee flavor that's sure to please everyone. So next time you're craving something sweet, give these doughnuts a try. You won't be disappointed!
