  • salt – 0.3 tsp;
  • sugar – 0.5 tbsp. l.;

How to cook fried donuts with kefir in a frying pan

To achieve a good result - the splendor of the dough, it is necessary that the soda is well quenched. To do this, heat kefir to 40 degrees. This is easy to check - dip your little finger in kefir. If you feel hot but tolerable, it’s 38-42 degrees. Just what we need. Pour a spoonful of soda into this kefir and mix well. There will immediately be bubbles on the surface.

Add salt, sugar. Add flour gradually, kneading the dough each time.

As you knead the dough in the bowl, you will see bubbles in the dough. When it has formed, remove it from the bowl and knead it further on the table. The main thing here is not to stuff the dough, it should stick to your hands a little. Therefore, add flour gradually; you may need less or more flour.

Roll out or knead the dough with your hands so that its thickness is 3-4 centimeters.

Cut out crumpets with a glass. You can cut the dough into diamonds. Many recipes advise making a cut in the center to make the crumpets more voluminous. But we don’t notice a significant difference between donuts with or without a hole.

Pour vegetable oil into the pan so that it covers the bottom by about a centimeter. Warm it up well. Fry the crumpets with kefir in a frying pan. They should not be laid out too tightly, as they will increase in size.

Fry them on both sides over medium heat until beautifully golden brown.

Place the finished donuts on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Sprinkle the finished donuts with powdered sugar. You can serve sweet crumpets with any jam, jam or butter.

Unsweetened donuts made with kefir will replace your bread. And if you add chopped garlic and herbs to the dough, they will replace garlic dumplings for any first course.

Yeast crumpets on kefir

Donuts made with kefir and yeast are especially airy. They can be prepared “empty” or with filling. These can be fresh apples or pears, raisins and dried apricots, prunes. You can add a little cottage cheese to the dough.

Ingredients:

  • Kefir – 1 glass;
  • Dry yeast – 1 tsp;
  • Flour – 3-3.5 cups and a little for rolling out the dough;
  • Sugar – 2-2.5 cups;
  • Eggs – 2 pcs.;
  • Butter and vegetable oil – 50 g each;
  • A pinch of salt.

Preparation:

  1. Kefir needs to be heated to 38-40 degrees. Then add a spoonful of granulated sugar to it and mix well with a spoon until it completely dissolves.
  2. Add yeast to warm sweetened kefir. They also need to be mixed well. Then set this mixture aside for 10-15 minutes. During this time, fermentation will occur and many bubbles will form on the surface of the kefir mass. Therefore, it is important that the kefir is not hot, otherwise the yeast will die.
  3. While the kefir is covered in bubbles, you can grind the eggs with salt and the rest of the sugar.
  4. Melt the butter and cool it slightly.
  5. Sift the flour into a deep bowl and pour into it one by one all the prepared mixtures: first kefir, then mashed eggs, and then melted butter. Knead all the ingredients into a dough. Cover it with a napkin or kitchen towel.
  6. Place the covered bowl of dough in a warm place for 25-30 minutes. It will rise a little. It should be kneaded again, returned to the bowl and covered again. Now it should stay warm for about an hour. During this time, the yeast dough will double in size.
  7. Sprinkle the table (or other surface) and rolling pin with flour. This is necessary so that the dough does not stick.
  8. Place the fluffy dough on the table and roll it out into a layer 1-2 cm thick. Using a glass, shot glass or special cookie cutters, cut out future donuts from it. Leave them for another 10 minutes to let them rise a little.
  9. Meanwhile, pour vegetable oil for frying into a frying pan and heat it well.
  10. Reduce the heat to low and fry the crumpets on both sides until a delicious golden brown crust appears.
  11. After frying, place them on a paper towel or napkin to remove excess oil. Otherwise, the donuts will turn out too greasy.
  12. Ready fried kefir donuts can be sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Tip: it happens that you don’t have dry yeast or you have pressed yeast lying around in the refrigerator that is about to expire. Then they can be interchanged in the following proportion: 1 tsp. dry yeast = 10-12 g fresh. That is, for this recipe you will need approximately 1/10 of a standard packet of compressed yeast.

Kefir donuts with cheese

Kefir donuts with cheese have a very pleasant salty taste. By the way, cheese can be used dried or weathered - after heat treatment it cannot be distinguished from fresh. The finished donuts will have a porous structure, so they will turn out very light and airy.

Ingredients:

  • Kefir – 1 glass;
  • Grated cheese – 1 cup;
  • Flour – 2 cups;
  • Soda – 0.5 tsp;
  • Salt and sugar - to taste;
  • Vegetable oil - for frying.

Preparation:

  1. In a deep bowl, combine pre-grated cheese and kefir.
  2. Add a pinch of salt, a little sugar and half a teaspoon of soda to these products. Mix everything together.
  3. Sift flour into this mixture. First take 2/3 of the volume, and mix the rest gradually. This is necessary because the exact amount of flour will be clear during the kneading process. It depends on the fat content of the kefir and cheese used, and on the flour itself.
  4. The result should be a stable lump of dough that does not stick to your hands too much.
  5. Divide it into small balls. Lightly flatten each one on top with your palm. If desired, make a hole in the middle of each piece with your finger. There is no need to try to give the products an ideal shape - during the frying process they will increase in size and change beyond recognition.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and reduce heat to low.
  7. Now put the prepared crumpets there, cover the frying pan with a lid and fry them until browned. First on one side, then on the other. We take out those that are already fried on a paper towel to remove any remaining fat.
  8. The finished dish can be consumed both hot and cold. Serve it with tea, coffee or soup for lunch.

Tip: for cheese crumpets, any hard cheese or a mixture of them will do. This recipe is especially convenient after receiving guests - when there are leftover pieces of cheese from the sliced ​​cheese.

Adviсe

  • Fry the crumpets in refined sunflower oil, sesame oil, rice oil or palm oil. These types are the safest for deep frying.
  • If time permits, it is always better to sift the flour. This will make the dough more airy and will certainly prevent various specks that may end up in a bag of flour from getting into it.
  • You can use not only fresh kefir, but also one that has slightly expired. Severely spoiled kefir (overdue for a week or more) is no longer worth using. The dough may acquire an unpleasant sour taste.
  • Kefir can be replaced with sour cream. In this case, you need to dilute it a little with water or slightly reduce the amount of flour in the recipe.
  • Using the same principle, you can use any other fermented milk product for the dough - unsweetened yogurt, yogurt, etc.

I think many people are familiar with the situation when you pick up children from kindergarten, and they just scream about how hungry they are. This is what happens to me every day. Of course, the first thing I do when I return home is feed my little boys. But they are such “gluttons” that they tail me for snacks all evening. Therefore, you often have to come up with something tasty. Once I remembered how in my childhood my grandmother baked fluffy, aromatic, moderately sweet donuts with kefir in the oven for my brother and me. When we heard the smell of baking on the street, we immediately ran into the house and ate all the donuts while still hot. They were so delicious! Having learned from my mother a recipe with a photo of those same donuts, I baked them that same evening. They turned out as lush as grandma’s. Now I often spoil my children, and not only them, with delicious homemade cakes. These also turn out very tasty.

- 600 grams of wheat flour,
- 100 grams of margarine (or homemade butter),
- ½ cup sugar,
- 1 chicken egg,
- ½ teaspoon baking soda,
- 1 ½ tablespoons refined vegetable oil,
- a pinch of salt.

How to cook with photos step by step





First, melt the margarine in a water bath (or in the microwave).
Then mix eggs, kefir, salt and sugar in a separate container.




Add a small portion of sifted wheat flour to the previous ingredients (when sifting, the flour is saturated with oxygen, and the dough turns out fluffy) along with soda, mix.
Next, pour the melted margarine, which has cooled by this time, into the dough and mix again.




Now gradually add the remaining flour into the batter without stopping stirring.






Knead a thick dough.




Then divide the dough into several parts, roll each of them into a layer 2 centimeters thick.
Using a round mold (or a regular glass), cut out donuts from the dough.




Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with refined vegetable oil and place the crumpets on it. Pierce them with a fork or wooden stick in several places and place in a preheated oven.
As soon as the crumpets are browned, take them out and place them on a plate. Look like this

The history of the donut-donut controversy has been going on since the beginning of the twentieth century, and to this day, disputes continue over whether this is one product or not.

Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, products made from yeast dough, fried in oil, which have a hole in the middle and are called pyshki, have been known in Russia. The concept of “donut” appeared in Russia only at the beginning of the twentieth century, and it arose from the Polish word “paszek”, which meant round balls made from yeast dough, filled with or without filling.

The name “puff” is a derivative of the verb “to puff”, to fry in oil. The donut is fried in oil, sprinkled with powdered sugar, but the obligatoryness of the holes in the middle remains in question.

A donut is also a product fried in oil, made from round-shaped yeast dough, sometimes with filling inside (jam, marmalade, marmalade, various creams).

It is believed that the name “pumpkin” is the St. Petersburg name for rings fried in oil, and “donut” is the Moscow name. And the confusion arose thanks to the “Book of Tasty and Healthy Food,” published in 1932.

Well, be that as it may, the donut donut is a delicious product and is in demand among the people. And we will not stand aside, and will prepare these most tender dishes with a crispy crust.

Legends about crumpets

Many believe that this dish is originally Russian. But some nations may argue with this. So, in Poland there was a similar dish and the word “crumpet” comes from “pączek”.

Moreover, this word appeared long before the Russian name. At the same time, old Slavic writings mention sweets made from flour fried in boiling oil.

They were called puffs, because when lowered into the frying pan, the dough made a specific sound - it puffed.

Another piece of evidence in favor of Rus' is the detailed description of the crumpet recipe in the writings of the times of Ivan the Terrible.

In those days, they were traditionally served at the royal table as a traditional dish.

The first news of balls being cooked in boiling oil came to us from Ancient Rome. There they were called “globules”. Further mentions date back to the Middle Ages.

It was at that time that krapfens became popular. These are the same donuts, but with a specific shape of the English “S”.

In those days, these dishes were prepared without filling and this is a classic recipe, popular to this day. Fruit jams began to be added to them only in the 18th century.

There are also versions that donuts were invented by Jews and Americans. In the distant past, the latter even treated postmen to this dish.

But for the USA, donuts are more traditional. In fact, these are the same donuts, but with a hole in the middle.

  • Let's make the dough.
  • Add flour, more sugar, a pinch of salt, eggs and margarine to the finished dough. Please note that the latter should be soft, but not melted.

Leave it to rest for about 30 – 60 minutes, it all depends on how it rises.

  • Prepare the dough.
  • The risen dough should be divided, just be careful not to make it too stiff.

  • Before serving.
  • When removing crumpets from the frying pan, you should first place them on a paper towel to drain the oil. Then place the dessert on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. You can also top them with jam, honey and other toppings.

    It is also worth sifting the flour before adding it to the dough. This will make the crumpets cooked in a frying pan more airy.

    Modern recipes for crumpets with milk can be more varied. So, you can add fillings, vanillin and cinnamon, as well as cardamom.

    Various toppings can be either poured over the top of the dish or introduced into the crumpets. How to do it? It is worth using a pastry syringe.

    The best recipes for crumpets on water

    Sometimes it happens that the amount of food in the refrigerator is limited, but you really want something sweet.
