Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp instant dry yeast
- 3 tbsp white sugar
- 1 pc large-sized egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 16 pcs cheese strips, about 3 inches length
- Powdered milk, for coating
- cooking oil, for frying
Instructions
Preparing the Dough
- Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl.
- Add-in the yeast, sugar, salt then mix together using a whisk or a fork.
- Add-in the egg, butter, and milk then mix with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix thoroughly until no dry flour is visible.
- Dust a flat working surface with flour and transfer the mixture.
- Knead until elastic then form the dough into a round ball.
- Place the dough into a bowl brushed with melted butter or oil then cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth.
- Let it sit and rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- When ready, deflate the dough by punching it then transfer to a flat working space.
- Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces.
- Shape a piece of the dough into a flat rectangle. Place the cheese strip in the center of the dough.
- Tuck the ends of the dough then turn upright, with the tucked side at the bottom. Make adjustments to form a cylindrical or log shape, if necessary.
- Place into a baking sheet or tray and repeat for the rest of the pieces.
- Allow to rise for 30 minutes or until they double in size.
Frying the Doughnuts
- To fry the doughnuts, prepare a deep frying pan and pour-in enough cooking oil to deep-fry. You will be frying in batches so you may start when a batch (around 4-6 doughnuts) is ready.
- Heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot enough, fry the first batch.
- Cook until golden brown then remove and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Repeat for the rest of the batches.
- Allow to cool.
- Place some powdered milk into a small bowl.
- Coat the doughnuts by rolling them in powdered milk. Serve and enjoy!
