Stick_Doughnuts

My mother’s doughnuts are not round. They are sticks, and my sisters and I love them. And her grandchildren and great-grandchildren love them, too. Her neighbours also love them. That’s why she makes a lot of them when she decides to make them. She uses Flour, Sugar, Salt and Eggs only. She never told me how much of each to use because she didn’t know. But after many decades of making them, she now knows exactly how much. I am sharing her recipe with you.

My Mother’s Original Recipe

1 kg Plain Flour
350g Caster Sugar
15g Salt
420g whisked Eggs *weight of shells is not included
Oil for frying

Method
  1. Mix all ingredients to make dough. Divide the dough into 12 portions and roll on the dusted board to make 12 sticks.
  2. Heat Oil about depth of 5cm in a large saucepan over medium heat. Oil should be around 170℃. Twist each stick slightly and carefully place 4 sticks into the Oil. Cook, turning occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown.
  3. Transfer the stick doughnuts to a tray lined with paper towel. Repeat with the remaining dough.
