Instructions
- Make the Donuts
Mix the dry ingredients in your stand mixer or by hand using a whisk; flour, salt, baking powder, tapioca flour for a minute or two until combined - Mix in the egg
Start adding water to the mixture slowly while the mixer is on. First, the mixture might separate but keep your mixer on, and the dough will come together. - How to check the consistency of the dough?
Take a small amount of dough and start to form a ball with your hands. Stop adding water as soon as the dough is not crumbly and you are able to form a ball. - Once you are happy with the consistency of the dough
Knead it with the palm of your hand for a minute - Cut 10 pieces of 10cm*10cm / 4inches*4inches square shape baking papers
Using a Digital scale form the dough into little balls about 7g each. I suggest working with very slightly wet hands so it won’t stick to your hands - Place 8 balls in a ring shape in a way that they are touching each other
Once all the donut rings are ready (should be 10 altogether), heat vegetable oil in a saucepan to 170-180C / 338-356F - Fry the donuts
Place 2-3 donuts into the oil with the parchment paper on them. Flip the donuts after about 30 seconds and remove the parchment paper. Fry the donuts for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown - Glazing the Donuts
Hold the donut with your fingers and dip it into the glaze. Move the donut a bit for a few seconds, then carefully remove it from the glaze. While still holding the donut with your fingers (facing down), carefully remove any excess glaze from it with the help of your fingers on your other hand - Decoration
Gently melt white chocolate in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds. Move melted white chocolate into a piping bag, make a very small hole on the piping bag and decorate each Donut. Make sure chocolate is not too runny, neither too solid, try the decoration first on a plate. Use freeze-dried strawberries and gold dust for further decoration
