Piece of life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nothing is so delicious as a good donut (beigne). In France, they are served more specifically during the Mardi Gras and Carnival festivities, but in North America they are part of our daily candies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I arrived in Quebec, it was at Tim Hortons<\/a> that I tasted my first donut (of course), but there are more interesting options that I discovered over the years. R\u00e9my Couture<\/a>‘s donuts are some of them. I discovered them on the Olympic Park Esplanade during the food truck festival<\/a>. And when talking about Remy Couture’s donuts, we are talking about greediness at its pure state. So, for all the greeds like me, you should know that his first book has just been published and the donuts recipe is in details! To learn more about his book, I will tell you about it here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the donuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The recipe I tried is the basic one. The donuts can be further customized: sugar-coated (sugar\/cinnamon for me), coated with different glazes or stuffed with cream, jam or other fillings as desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe is simple: basic ingredients to be mixed in order to get dough and some rest period to let the yeast do its effect. It is easier to prepare the dough in a food processor using the dough hook (it is always easier to knead)but you can also make it by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next step, you just need to shape the dough. The classic shape is a ring. You will need 2 molds of different sizes to do it. Cutters, small pie molds, bowls or even glasses will do the job. Cut the dough with the larger mold, then, use the second one to make a small hole at the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save the scraps and roll out the dough again to make more donuts. Finally, save the dough “holes” and fry them with the donuts. If you want to stuff the donuts, do not make the central holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
