Cooking

Let's start with the test. In a pot of water (250 ml) put the cinnamon, cloves, allspice and, if desired, anise, bring to the boil and cook for 10 minutes.

Pumpkin peel, cut into slices. Remove from the water all the spices, put the pumpkin, cook until tender. Cool to 40 degrees. Pumpkin remove.

Pour into a bowl 250 ml of liquid in which the cooked pumpkin, add sugar and yeast. The liquid should be warm (36-40 degrees). Stir, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 15 minutes.

Pumpkin chop in a blender, puree. We need 160 ml of puree. Slightly beat the egg, add pumpkin puree,

Pour in the yeast mixture, mix well.

Parts add sifted flour and knead the dough. It should be soft and slightly sticky. With oiled hands, place it in a greased bowl, cover with a towel. Leave to rise in a warm place for an hour, or until it has increased in size twice.

Make syrup. Remove the zest from orange and lime (try not to touch the white part of the rind - it will give bitter), squeeze the juice. In a saucepan, pour 60 ml of water, put the cinnamon, cloves, allspice, orange zest and lime, sugar, pour in the juice. Put on fire, bring to copenia and cook until thick.

The end result should resemble liquid honey. Strain the syrup and leave to cool.

Here the dough has already come! Obamanite his hands.

Moisten hands with vegetable oil. Take a piece of dough and roll into a ball (a little bit of ball ping-pong table) in the center make a hole and form a donut. Place the doughnuts on a towel, cover top with a towel. I got 30 pieces. If you decide to do half, use the dough one egg yolk.

Heat oil in a deep pot and over medium heat fry the donuts until Golden brown on both sides for 1.5-2 minutes.

Spread them on a paper towel or cloth to get rid of excess oil.
