Salty Bolinho De Chuva Savory Brazilian Doughnuts Food

SALTY BOLINHO DE CHUVA (SAVORY BRAZILIAN DOUGHNUTS)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix in the eggs, green onions and salt.
• While mixing with a wood spoon add the flour, corn starch, baking powder and milk until you get a batter similar to thick cake batter.
• Preheat a deep-fat fryer to 350 degrees.
• Using two tablespoons, take a spoon of batter and scrape off the batter into the fryer using the second spoon.
• Fry about six doughnuts each time until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, flipping just once for overall browning. (The doughnut will flip by itself). Remove the doughnuts from the oil and drain and serve.

SAVORY POTATO DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• brown off bacon.
• prepare mashed potatoes. Instead of adding in milk or butter add 4 oz of goat cheese.
• Combine all ingredients (a food processor may be used).
• Roll out on a lightly floured surface. Adjust dough consistency, if needed, adding flour if dough is too sticky or a little milk if too crumbly, until a soft, rollable dough is obtained. Add as little flour as is possible to avoid having heavy, tough, doughnuts.
• Cut out doughnut shapes using a doughnut cutter, two biscuit cutters or two glasses (a shot glass is a good size for cutting out the doughnut holes). Dip the cutters in flour before each cut.
• Use a spatula sprayed with non-stick spray to transfer the doughnuts to hot oil (about 370°F). Turn once until browned on both sides and cooked through. If outside of doughnut browns before inside is cooked, reduce temperature.
• Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Shake in a brown paper bag filled with granulated sugar (cinnamon may be optionally added) or dust with confectioners sugar while still warm.
• For a festive look, drizzle with confectioners icing and sprinkle with colored jimmies.
• Serve warm.
