Yum yum (Greggs-style)

Ingredients

• 500 g strong bread flour
• 50 g caster sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp instant yeast
• 250 ml warm milk
• 2 eggs
• 60 g butter, softened
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Oil for deep-frying
• Icing sugar, to dust

Method

1. Mix flour, sugar, salt, yeast in a bowl. Add warm milk, eggs, vanilla and butter. Knead 8-10 minutes until smooth.
2. Cover, rise 1 hour until doubled.
3. Roll out to 2 cm thick. Cut into rounds with a 9 cm cutter.
4. Heat oil to 180°C. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
5. Drain on kitchen paper. Dust generously with icing sugar.
6. Best served warm.

Tip: For that characteristic crunchy-soft texture, fry once, cool 5 minutes, then fry a second time for 30 seconds.
