Babka Doughnuts
Servings: 28
Ingredients
- 28 Yitzy’s Mini Pizza Rounds
Filling:
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla sugar
Crumbs:
- 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 5 tablespoons flour
- 3 ounces good quality chocolate, chopped
- Confectioners’ sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
Notes
- Place pizza rounds on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients. Spoon a small amount of filling in the center of each pizza round. Seal pizza round in a half moon shape and wrap one end around the other (see photo). You’ll want to fill the filling in the stickier side (the side that’s sticking to the plastic), so that it closes easier. If not frying immediately, you can freeze until ready to fry. If freezing, defrost fully before frying.
- Prepare the crumbs. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, using your fingers, combing margarine, sugar, and flour until streusel crumbs form. Spread on prepared baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes. Let cool.
- When ready to fry, heat oil in a deep fryer or saucepan. When oil is hot, add donuts in batches and fry until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- To melt chocolate, place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. If there are still chunks of chocolate, microwave for 15 to 30 additional seconds and stir until smooth. Alternatively you can place the chopped chocolate into a bag. Knot it closed. Place the bag into a cup with hot boiling water. The chocolate will melt. Remove from water, wipe bag closed, snip off the tip of the bag and drizzle over the doughnuts.
- Drizzle chocolate over donuts and sprinkle with streusel. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar if you prefer a sweeter donut, which you of course do!
