Cute Galaxy Donuts Recipe

Ingredients for Galaxy Doughnuts

• 4 cups flour
• 1 cup plus 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp instant dry yeast
• 3 tbsp margarine
• single egg
• 1 cup plus 2 tbsp soy milk
• one cup plus 3 tbsp water
• 1 tsp salt

Ingredients for Galaxy Glaze for Donuts

• 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 2 tbsp soy (or other) milk
• your choice of food coloring colors

How to Make Galaxy Donuts

• Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl.
• Add egg, soy milk, water, sugar, and softened margarine. Then stir until dough is kneadable. It’s ok if the dough sticks to your hands a bit.
• Use your palms to knead and push the dough for 5-10 minutes. As a result, the dough should get fluffy and smooth and no longer stick to your hands.
• Form the dough into a ball and place it into a bowl. Next, cover with a cloth and let it rest for 2 hours. As a result, the dough should double or triple in size in that time.

• On a floured board roll the dough out to be 1″ thick. Next, either shape donuts with a donut cutter or use a round cutter for the outside and a bottle cap to make the hole.
• Put the formed donuts aside, roll up the unused dough, and roll it out again to cut out more galaxy donuts.

• In a medium pan, use medium-high to heat 2″ of oil. Then fry the donuts until you like the brownness. 5-10 seconds per side should be sufficient.
• For a healthier version, cook the donuts in the oven instead. Next, heat the oven to 390° F. Cook for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

How do I make glaze for donuts?

• Mix powdered sugar with soy milk. Once mixed, add a few drops of your preferred color of food coloring. Additionally, you can use specialty colors or mix blue, red, and yellow to get a purplish hue.

• Stir the colors with a toothpick or knife in an irregular pattern. Do not over-combine the colors or you won’t have a galaxy look.
• Let the donuts cool, add glaze, and let dry.
• Enjoy these cute galaxy donuts once the glaze has set.
