Now note that if making the twists is too hard for you, you
could simple shape the dough into small one-inch balls and fry. I’m not gonna
lie – I have quickly shaped them into balls and fried when I was hosting an
event in my home and had very little time to make the twists. But note that the
balls take a longer time to get cooked through compared to the twists.
I adapted this recipe from one of my favorite YouTube cooks,
Maangchi. After testing the recipe several times, I successfully adjusted the
ingredients to suit measurements in grams so those of you who use grams will
find it easy to follow. So for this recipe, you need 500 grams or half a
kilogram of flour. Neat, right? Also, 500 grams of flour equates to 4 cups
of flour so whether you choose to measure in grams or kilograms, you are good.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all purpose flour (500g or 1/2 kg)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 oz sachet)
- 12 oz evaporated milk (354ml or 1 3/4 cups)
- 3 tablespoons butter - melted
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt (not heaped)
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Heat the milk to be just slightly warm to the touch. I heated it for 1 minute in the microwave. The milk should be about 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the yeast to the milk and let it rest for 2 minutes. Add the sugar, salt, melted butter and egg then whisk everything together. Finally, add in the flour and mix with a wooden spoon to form a dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down dough to deflate then place on a floured board and cut into 24 equal pieces. (I start off by cutting the dough into two. Then cutting each piece into two twice to form 8 pieces. Then I cut every 1 of the eight pieces into 3. That makes 24 pieces.)
- Take one piece and roll out into a 13-inch rope. Twist the rope in the opposite direction (move one hand upward and the other hand downward as you roll). Hold up and keep twisting until it forms a twisted doughnut. Press the ends together to seal them. Place the twisted doughnut on a large tray or chopping board. Repeat process with the rest of the dough.
