Steps
Doughnuts
- Once ready, knock the dough back and divide into two. To one add the grated carrot and cinnamon, to the other add the mashed banana and the walnuts chopped.
- Divide the dough into 6 balls, and let this prove again in a warm place for about 20 minutes this time.
- Whilst you are waiting for this make the carrot frosting by beating the sugar and butter together until pale.
- Then stir in the milk and vanilla. Finally, beat in the cream cheese and set aside.
- Get your oil hot enough for frying and fry off the doughnuts for a couple of minutes on each side, until golden. Remove from the oil and place on kitchen paper.
- Place the two fillings into piping bag and make an incision in the top of the doughnut. Fill until you can feel the weight of the filling in the doughnut.
- Mix together the two different flavour sugars, and then roll the carrot doughnuts in the mixed spice and the banana in the cinnamon sugar. Delicious!
