Cinnamon donuts

Ingredients:

Donuts

• 0.5 cups of milk
• 1 tsp. sugar + 1/3 tbsp.
• 1.5 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup water
• 2.5 cups of flour
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• 4 tbsp (60 g) butter, melted
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Topping

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation:

1. Fry the donuts. In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Add the yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes to activate.
2. In a small bowl, beat the egg with water.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, salt, and nutmeg. Add the yeast mixture, beaten egg, and melted butter. Remove the paddle and replace it with the dough hook. Knead the dough for about 15 minutes, until smooth. Transfer to a large, greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
4. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 0.5 cm and place it on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to rest.
5. Cut the dough into 4 cm squares. Line a baking sheet with greased parchment paper. Place the dough squares 1 cm apart on the prepared baking sheet and cover with another greased sheet of parchment. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
6. Prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon to coat doughnuts.
7. Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan to 190°C (375°F) and fry the donuts for 1-2 minutes on each side. While the donuts are still warm, roll them in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
