  • 125 ml (½ c) lukewarm milk
  • 15 g butter, melted and cooled

2 Knead the dough lightly. Roll on a clean, lightly floured work surface and cut circles with a cookie cutter of 7-8 cm.

3 Cut a hole in the middle with a smaller, round cookie cutter. Let rest for 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Fry the balls 3 to 4 at a time for 3 to 4 minute until it is done.

4 Shake the hot balls immediately in cinnamon sugar and repeat the process with the remaining dough.

* The story of the hole

American sailors ate doughnuts on long voyages because it could easily be stored for a long period. Captain Hanson Gregory apparently put his doughnut in one of the steering wheel’s pokes when he had to steer the ship. That’s why is has a hole!

During the World War helpers handed out doughnuts to American soldiers in the trenches and the rest is history. The delicacy soon became one of America – and the rest of the world’s- favorite snacks.
