For the Doughnut

Method

Doughnut Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a medium saucepan, combine water and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour, sugar, and salt until a smooth dough forms.

  2. 2

    Add Eggs

    Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Pipe the Doughnuts

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe doughnut shapes onto parchment-lined baking sheets.

  4. 4

    Fry the Doughnuts

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the doughnuts in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Maple Glaze

    In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth.

  6. 6

    Glaze the Doughnuts

    Dip the warm doughnuts into the maple glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a wire rack to set.
