Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and dry yeast.
2
Add the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and mashed sweet potato. Mix well to combine.
3
Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness. Use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles.
6
Place the cut-out doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
7
In a large pot, heat the oil to approximately 340°F (170°C). Test the oil by dropping in one doughnut; if it immediately rises to the surface and gently sizzles, the oil is ready.
8
Fry the doughnuts for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
9
Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, drizzle them with honey or sprinkle them with powdered sugar for the perfect flavor experience.
