SUPER SOFT TANGZHONG SUGAR DONUTS
It’s been awhile after I posted my last donuts recipes 4 INGREDIENTS BLW SOURDOUGH DONUTS and FLOWER SHAPED GLAZED DONUTS.
Today, I’m making the classic Asian style sugar donuts using Tangzhong method. I’m a big fan of tangzhong bakery and I personally find that this is the best method to achieve commercial bakery’s standard pastry.
I’m also a big fan of sugar donuts. When I said this I mean if I pass by a bakery shop and see them on the shelf I will grab it! I love how light and soft these donuts texture with sugar coated all over. They are a signature bakery in many Asian bakery shops. Most kids love it and I’m the big KID who is very fond of this old-fashioned but delicious sugar donuts!
If you think this little piece of indulgent dessert is hard to make, you are going to change your mind after you read through my step by step instructions. Also, when you make your own donuts at home, you can rest assured as you know what ingredients are in it. There won’t be any unnecessary chemical that donuts don’t need.
This sugar donuts recipe is great in taste and texture. They are not too heavy or overly sweet even though it is using the deep-fried method. In fact, these donuts are SUPER SOFT, LIGHT AND MOIST. The only thing I want to warm you is you are highly likely to get addicted with them. So if you want to be self-discipline but worry about the temptation, share the love with your friends and family as this recipe can make about 15 donuts.
Not a sugar donuts fan but more on a chocolate side? No worries, I have got the chocolate glazed recipe for ya too! I have make half a dozen of chocolate glazed donuts as I’m sure someone in the house would want to a try the chocolate flavour as well.
