clash of the doughnuts

As an impulsive baker i always come up with a desire to bake at least expected time. Impulsive suppose to be the quality of a good lover. Quite often i end up with a runny batter or poor performance yeast due to failure to plan ahead. When i think about it there must be something that have been pushing my buttons (like pushing daisies). It is not that hard to found out.
Today i have come into a verdict. A doughnut with yeast is way tastier than a yeast-less doughnut. Yeast react with gluten gives out a chewy doughnut. Anyway what you are about to see in real life might be different from what you've seen in youtube. Just blame it on me.
HERE is the yeast-less doughtnut recipe that i love. Simple to make......nice but dont expect it to be like Krispy Kreme. On contrary yeast-less doughnut is fluffy, airy with soft exterior. 
shouldnt look like cekodok. watch the flame ppl
generous dusting
YEASTY VERSION
Doughnut with a yeast have more body when you bite. I guess the recipe is sorted HERE. Mind you that i'm making half from the original recipe, i dont have potato...i simply omit that. Since my batter is quite runny i cut the milk into 1/2 cup only.
p/s: i'm not happy with the batter. end up frying my yeasty doughnuts like cekodok too

  1. used to help my mum making those doughnut, here's a tip passed on from my grandma (my dad's mum) to my mum.
    - one pack of yeast for 1kg of flour (adjust accordingly if you plan to make in small portion).
    - prepare your yeast an hour earlier. my mum used the brown packet one. dont remember the brand. mixing them in a cup of warm sugar water.
    - add teaspoon of salt later before you pour it in your dough (it'll kill the yeast if you add it sooner).
    - don't overworked your dough, leave it to rest at least for an hour.

    your doughnut should be mouldable instead of batter-y (peace ;-P), thus called dough...hahaha

    i always find vegetable fat (shortening) made it crispier on the outside.

    always love the doughnut center.
