CACHAÇA DOUGHNUT


With a countryside taste, the cachaça doughnuts bring to many guys sweet memories, sometimes made by granny or mom. It's a very simple recipe, easy to roll the dough and makes a lot. Don't worry about the alcohol of recipe, even kids can eat.






2 eggs
200ml milk
200ml cachaça
130ml oil
2 tbsp butter in room temperature
1 tbsp baking powder
Flour (about 900g)

To Roll
Powdered sugar
Cachaça

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
In a large bowl, place the eggs, milk, cachaça, oil and butter. Gradually, add flour with the baking powder, mixing very well with hands. Do not add so much flour 'cause the doughnuts will be stale.
Shape dough into rings and place into the pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the base is lightly golden brown, don't let the top become golden brown.

To Roll
In a bowl, place sugar in another bowl, place cachaça. Roll the hot doughnuts in cachaça, then sugar. Let to cool in a rack. Store in a airtight container for 24 hours to disappear the cachaça flavor.

Cook's tip: You can use orange juice instead of cachaça. It's great to side a coffee cup.

Serve: 100 doughnuts.

  9. Love the idea of these baked doughnuts and they are so beautifully presented as well. Had no idea what cachaca was, but now I've read the other comments realise it is some sort of alcahol.
