Ingredients

  • Yeast
  • Castor sugar
  • Vanilla pod
  • Milk
  • Gram plain flour
  • Butter
  • Eggs
  • Schezwan pepper
  • Peppercorn

Instructions

  • Mix the yeast with half a teaspoon of the sugar and two tablespoons of the warm milk. Place in a warm place to rest for 15 minutes, or until frothy. In the mean-time make the sugar by heating a pan to toast the peppercorns. Allow to cool and blend with the remaining sugar. Set aside until needed. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Stir in one tablespoon of the sugar. Make a well in the flour and pour in the yeast mix, the rest of the milk, the melted butter and the egg. Mix to make a dough and then knead, cover the bowl and leave to stand for 45 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size. On a floured work surface, knead the dough for five minutes, then divide into balls and place in a warm place for 30 minutes, Heat the oil in a deep pan until it reaches 170C, Gently lower the dough balls one at a time into the hot oil, in batches of two or three, and fry for 3-5 minutes or until golden-brown, and then carefully turn over. Remove from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Roll the hot doughnuts in the spiced sugar.
