That's what you might call a deliberate typo, dear readers. Mainly because this is NOT how you make doughnuts. Honestly, it's something like a cross between a bagel and a beignet with a dash of carrot.
Enough blither. Let's move on to the recipe.
Instruments
- Mixing bowl
- Mixing instrument [I used a bell whisk]
- Two spoons of equal size
- A means of deep-ish frying
Ingredients
[Pardon the mess]
- Sourdough starter harvest(s) - roughly an entire cup
- Wholemeal flour swept off the previous loaves - roughly half a cup
- 1 cup almond meal
- 3 eggs
- 5 tsp (equivalent) sweetener of choice
- About a cup of grated carrot
I took this much carrot and grated it. Yielding about a cup of carrot shreds.
Instructions
NGL - I was in pure experiment mode, so I played mostly by ear.
Whisk together the flours and sweetener
Add in your starter yields and eggs. I tried mixing them in separately, and...
Very stiff doughy blob. Not fun. It's much better behaved with the eggs in there.
At this point it was looking more like doughnut batter, so I added in the carrot
For best results, just smash that lot around with your mixing implements. I tried sort of folding it around with the whisk, but... smooshing it about got a better blend. Go figure.
Now for the fun!Warm up your deep fryer to 180 Celsius [~350-360F]
Add small amounts of dough to the hot oil
An entire soup spoon's worth was too much...
About half worked out just right.I did not time how long they cooked, I just turned them and added blobs to the oil as I saw fit, but using the double-turn system, I got all of them cooked properly. I could also continually cook up to four at a time.
The large one was still goopy in the middle, but not bad goopy in the middle, according to Miss T.
The end result were golden-brown, crispy, crunchy, delightfully delectable... eldritch horrors.
I had five. They are a little bit goopy in the middle, still, but not terribly so. I'd recommend serving with creamy goodness of one form or another.
