2. Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
- For Decoration:
- White icing or glaze
- Colored sprinkles (gold, silver, and house colors)
- Magical edible glitter
- Chocolate or caramel sauce for drizzling
3. Step-by-step Instructions
Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the proofed yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Shape the Donuts
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or two round cutters (one large and one small) to cut out donut shapes. Place the donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let them rest for another 30 minutes.
Fry the Donuts
Heat your air fryer or a generous amount of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry or air fry the donuts until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels if fried.
Decorate for the Magical Touch
Let the donuts cool completely before glazing with your white icing or glaze. Decorate with colorful sprinkles, edible glitter, and drizzle with chocolate or caramel to resemble Hogwarts magic.
4. Storage Tips for Hogwarts Donuts
Store the donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. For longer freshness, keep them refrigerated for 2-3 days and reheat in your air fryer for a quick revival. Avoid storing with the toppings on if you want the decorations to stay perfect.
5. Serving Suggestions
Serve these Harry Potter themed donuts on a magical platter for themed parties, Harry Potter marathons, or special celebrations. Pair with a cup of coffee from your Nespresso Vertuo for a truly enchanting breakfast or snack. Add a sprinkle of edible glitter on top of the donuts right before serving for an extra magical touch.
