Ingredient
·
2 cups self-raising flour
·
2¼ cups plain flour
·
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
·
1½ cups caster sugar
·
¾ cup milk
·
75g butter, melted
·
2 eggs
·
42 small chewy caramels
·
Vegetable oil, to deep-fry
·
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Recipe
1. Sift flours,
bicarbonate of soda and 1 cup of the sugar into a large bowl. Make a well at
centre. Whisk milk, butter and eggs in a jug. Add milk mixture to flour
mixture; stir until combined. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface;
knead until smooth.
2. Taking 1 level
tablespoon of dough at a time, place 1 chewy caramel in the centre of dough.
Shape dough around caramel. Roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough and
caramels.
3. Heat the oil in
a large heavy-based saucepan over moderate heat (oil is ready when a cube of
bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil). Deep-fry doughnuts, in batches,
for 5 minutes or until golden and cooked. Using a slotted spoon, transfer
doughnuts to paper towel.
4. Combine cinnamon
and remaining sugar on a large flat plate. Roll hot doughnuts in sugar mixture
to lightly coat. Serve.
