Preparation of the farmer's doughnuts
Preparation time: 1h 30min
For the sweet yeast dough, mix the milk with the egg and yolks in a mixing bowl. Then add the flour and crumble the yeast on top. Finally, add the sugar, rum, salt and butter at room temperature and work everything into a very soft dough. Cover the dough and leave to rest for approx. 30 minutes.
Cut tablespoon-sized pieces from the dough and roll into smooth, round balls using a little flour. Cover the balls and leave to rest for another 10 minutes.
In the meantime, heat the oil to 160 °C.
Carefully pull the dough balls apart with a little flour, place them upside down in the hot oil and bake until golden brown. Turn the doughnuts over and bake the second side until golden brown.
Then drain on kitchen paper and enjoy sprinkled with icing sugar.
