Homemade Heart Doughnuts with Coconut Sugar

These fluffy homemade donuts are the perfect way to delight your loved ones. The combination of quality white flour, stone-ground, and the exotic aroma of coconut sugar give the dessert a unique character and delicate sweetness.

Ingredients:

• 250 grams white wheat flour

• 100 milliliters warm fresh milk

• 50 grams coconut sugar

• 10 grams fresh baker's yeast

• 30 grams lard

• 1 egg

• Lard for frying

Instructions:

1. Preparing the flour: Sift the flour into a deep bowl to aerate it, and make a well in the center.

2. Mixing the liquid ingredients: Beat the egg until frothy with the lard and coconut sugar. Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and add the mixture to the well in the flour.

3. Kneading and rising: Knead a soft, elastic dough. Cover it and let it rise in a warm place for about 30–40 minutes.

4. Shaping: Roll out the risen dough into a thin sheet. Use a cookie cutter to cut out small heart shapes.

5. Frying: Heat the lard in a small saucepan. When the fat is hot enough, drop the hearts in. Fry for about 30 seconds total – 15 seconds on each side.

6. Finishing: Remove the cooked donuts and place them on kitchen paper to drain excess fat.

Enjoy your meal!
