Instructions

Step 1

Mix flour, butter, salt and 60g sugar then fold in eggs.

Step 2

In a small saucepan heat water and milk. Turn off heat and stir in remaining sugar and yeast. Allow to ferment for 5 minutes or until frothy.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, add yeast mixture to flour and mix together. Cover and allow to rise for around 20 minutes, or until double in volume.

Step 4

When risen, knock the dough back down, roll out in a sheet (about a finger’s width) and cut into 6-8cm rounds. Set aside to prove again for 10 or so minutes.

Step 5

For butterscotch, melt butter in a small pan over a low heat, add sugar and slowly add 60ml cream. Turn up heat and let bubble for 3 or so minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining cream and vanilla. Stir.

Step 6

Put melted Lactofree spreadable in a heavy bottom frying pan and heat to 190C. Gently lower donut batter into hot oil. Fry until golden brown. Remove from the pan and drain on some kitchen towel.
