Our doughnuts are small, fluffy balls covered in a variety of mouth-watering sauces. Here’s how you can make them yourself and enjoy the BONBONS experience right in your own kitchen.
Ingredients
For the doughnuts:
- 2 cups plain flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup plain yoghurt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the sauces:
- Kinder Bueno Sauce: Melted Kinder Bueno chocolate
- Kinder White Sauce: Melted white chocolate
- Oreo Sauce: Crushed Oreo cookies mixed with a bit of cream
- Biscoff Sauce: Melted Biscoff spread
- Ferrero Rocher Sauce: Melted Ferrero Rocher chocolate
- Aero Mint Sauce: Melted Aero Mint chocolate
- Snickers Sauce: Melted Snickers bars
- Raffaello Sauce: Melted Raffaello candies
- Strawberry Sauce: Strawberry puree
- Sugar and Cinnamon: Mix of sugar and ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, yoghurt, egg, and melted butter.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
2. Shape the Doughnuts:
- Dust your hands and a surface with flour. Scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
3. Fry the Doughnuts:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully drop the dough balls into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Prepare the Sauces:
- Melt the chocolates and spreads in separate bowls using a microwave or double boiler.
- Prepare the Oreo and cinnamon sugar coatings.
5. Coat the Doughnuts:
- Dip the fried doughnuts into your choice of sauces or roll them in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- For a final touch, you can drizzle additional sauce over the coated doughnuts.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Arrange the coated doughnuts on a serving platter.
- Enjoy your homemade BONBONS-style doughnuts fresh and warm!
Tips for Perfect Doughnuts
- Make sure your oil is at the right temperature; too hot and the doughnuts will burn, too cool and they will absorb too much oil.
- Don’t overcrowd the pot when frying. Fry the doughnuts in batches to maintain the oil temperature.
- Get creative with the toppings and try mixing different sauces for unique flavour combinations.
