How to make dragon fruit doughnut

Answer 1

To make dragon fruit doughnuts, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup dragon fruit puree
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten
- Pink food coloring (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying

For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons dragon fruit puree
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

Optional toppings:
- Shredded coconut
- Chopped nuts

Here's how to make the dragon fruit doughnuts:

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. In a separate bowl, combine the dragon fruit puree, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and beaten egg. If desired, add a few drops of pink food coloring for a vibrant color.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to a temperature of around 350°F (175°C).

5. While the oil is heating, prepare your doughnut shaping station. Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the dough to a ½-inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or a round cookie cutter to shape the doughnuts. If you don't have a doughnut cutter, you can simply use a round cutter for the outer shape and a smaller round cutter for the center hole.

6. Gently place the doughnuts into the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown.

7. Once cooked, carefully remove the doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

8. To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and dragon fruit puree in a bowl. Gradually add milk until desired consistency is achieved. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.

9. Dip each doughnut into the glaze, allowing any excess glaze to drip off. You can also sprinkle shredded coconut or chopped nuts on top for added texture and flavor.

10. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade dragon fruit doughnuts!

Note: Dragon fruit puree can be made by blending fresh dragon fruit in a food processor or blender until smooth.
