Directions
Doughnuts
- In a medium size saucepan, heat milk to proper temperature. Whisk in canola oil and eggs. In large mixer bowl, using dough hook attachment, combine yeast, sugar, 2 cups (500 mL) flour, nutmeg and salt. Add combined liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well. Beat ingredients for 1 – 2 minutes.
- With mixer turned on add enough extra flour to form a smooth elastic ball of dough. The dough should be barely sticky. Beat the dough for 5 – 6 minutes.
- Let dough rest for 10 minutes, covered, in mixer bowl. Roll dough to 1.25 cm (1/2-inch) thickness, on floured counter top.
- Cut doughnuts, using a doughnut cutter or a 5 – 7.5 cm (2 – 3 inch) cookie cutter. Transfer circles to a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover with clean cloth and let rise in warm place for approximately 45 minutes or until doughnuts have doubled in size.
- Bake doughnuts at 375ºF (190ºC), about 8 – 10 minutes, or until doughnuts are golden in colour.
Topping
- Combine sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in medium size bowl. While doughnuts are still warm, lightly brushes tops with canola oil and quickly dip tops in the sugar mixture.
Coffee Filling
- Beat cream cheese in medium bowl, until softened. Add remaining ingredients and beat well.
- Fit pastry bag with small round tip and fill bag with icing. Carefully poke a small hole in the side of the doughnut (careful nut to go all the way through).
- Insert the tip of the pastry bag into the hole of each doughnut and carefully squeeze the bag to fill doughnuts with icing.
