VEGAN GALAXY DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Paste:.
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour.
• 1/3 cup water.
• Dough:.
• 2 tsp active dried yeast.
• 1 cup lukewarm water.
• 4 cups plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour.
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
• 1 tsp salt.
• ¼ cup vegetable oil.
• Vegetable oil, for frying.
• Glaze:.
• 1 cup powdered sugar.
• 1 ½ to 2 ½ tbsp soy cream or non-dairy milk.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract.
• Food gel colouring.
• Small sprinkles.
• Make the paste:.
• Stir the ¼ cup of flour and 1/3 cup water together in a small pot. Place over a medium heat on the stove and cook until the mixture has thickened into a stiff paste. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Make the dough:.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast and lukewarm water. Let it stand for 10 minutes until bubbly. Add the cooled paste you made earlier, the flour, sugar, salt and vegetable oil to the bowl of the stand mixer. With the dough hook attached, knead the dough in the mixer for 6 minutes on a medium speed until smooth and elastic. Pour a little bit of oil into the bowl and turn the dough so that the oil coats the dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
• Once risen, punch the dough down and tip out onto a floured counter. Roll out to be 1/4-inch thick and use a 3-inch round cutter (or a glass that width) to punch out circles from the dough. Use a pastry tip to cut out the centre of each circle to make the doughnut hole. Place onto a floured baking tray and cover with a damp tea towel, leave in a warm place for 30 minutes to rise.
• Heat ½-inch depth of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350oF. Gently lower in a few dougnuts into the oil. Let fry until golden underneath then flip and let it cook until the other side is golden. Remove to a baking tray lined with kitchen paper.
• For the glaze, stir together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and soy cream in a medium bowl until you get a thick but drizzleable glaze. Divide between 4 small bowls. Leave one white. Colour one a very pale blue. Colour one a dark blue/purple. Colour another pink. Dollop a few dots of the dark blue and pink glaze into the light blue glaze. Swirl a few times with a spoon just to lightly combine then drizzle in some of the white glaze. Using a swooshing motion, dip a doughnut into the glaze and place glaze-side up on a wire rack to set. Repeat with the remaining doughnuts adding more of the dark blue/pink/white glaze to the bowl as needed. Decorate with a few sprinkles or edible glitter if you'd like for extra flair.

VEGAN DOUGHNUTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Gently melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix together.
• Once combined, take off the heat and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, half of the sugar, baking powder and salt with a fork.
• Make a well in the center and pour in the butter mixture. Combine gradually until a thick dough forms.
• Using your hands, roll dough into little flat balls and with your thumb, press a hole in the center of each doughnut. (You may need to flour your hands for this part to avoid getting sticky!)
• Heat up oil in a pan. To know when it's hot enough, fry a little bit of bread in the oil. If it goes brown and floats to the top, in 45-50 seconds the oil will be ready!
• Gently lay the doughnuts into the oil using a spatula. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
• Transfer the doughnuts onto some tissue paper to soak up any excess oil.
• Roll the doughnut into a bowl of the remaining half of sugar.
• Enjoy!
