How To Make Ghanaian Doughnut
In this video I will show you how I make Ghanaian doughnuts. These doughnuts are not only limited to Ghana but they are also well known in other (West) African countries. in this video I will show you the fried version and I will show you how to make these doughnuts using a cake pop maker.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 Cup flour
1/4 Cup sugar
1 Teaspoon baking powder
1.4 teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon nutmeg
80 Grams butter (At room temperature)
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 Cup milk
2 Eggs
Vegetable oil for frying +/- 4 Cups
Instructions:
1. Sift the flour and to it add sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
2. Mix the flour and add the butter. Mix the butter and the flour until it changes to a crumb like mixture.
3. In a different combine the eggs, vanilla extract and milk. Mix these ingredients until they are well combined.
4. Add the liquid ingredients to the flour and butter mixture. Mix it until you get a smooth and silky batter without lumps.
5. Fry or bake the doughnuts. When frying doughnuts be mindful of these three things:
1. Keep the scoops small
In the process of frying, the doughnuts will rise, so keep the scoops small. When the doughnuts are (too) big, you run the risk of the outside browning quicker than the interior can be cooked thoroughly. In that case you will end up with a doughnut that looks done but is not. I used a coffee measuring spoon to scoop the dough. The size of a coffee measuring spoon equates to two tablespoons.
2. Fry over a medium fire
Oil that is too hot also causes the exterior to brown much more quickly than the inside can be cooked.
When the oil is at a medium temperature it allows the doughnut to cook evenly.
3. Don't overcrowd the pan
Overcrowding causes the temperature of the oil to drop. When the temperature of the oil is too low the doughnuts will absorb allot of oil. In my 7 inch cooking pot I baked about 6-7 doughnuts at a time.
