1 cup flour 

3 large eggs

1 tbsp cake flour 

 

Serving suggestion: 
NESCAFÉ Classic Coffee  

 

METHOD 

 

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line 2 baking trays with baking paper. *Chef’s Tip: To keep the paper in place, stick down the corners with some doughnut batter! 

For the batter: 

2. In a medium sized saucepan, combine the NESCAFÉ Classic Original, margarine, castor sugar, vanilla essence, if using, and 1 cup of water over medium heat. Heat until the margarine has melted and the sugar has dissolved. *Chef’s Tip: NESCAFÉ Classic Coffee is strong and full-bodied! 

3. Add the flour and mix with a wooden spoon to form a soft dough. Cook for 2-3 minute while continuously stirring. *Chef’s Tip: The mixture will start to stick to the base of the pot when ready! 

4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cool for 10 minutes. 

5. Add the first egg and stir with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated. Repeat the process with the other 2 eggs. *Chef’s Tip: The batter will split but come together again once continuously stirred!  

 

6. Fit a piping bag with a star nozzle and spoon in the batter. Pipe mini doughnut dippers that are 4 cm in length onto the lined baking trays.  

7. Bake for 15 minutes until golden and crisp. *Chef’s Tip: Alternatively, shallow fry the dippers, if preferred! 

For the coating:  

8. Combine the caster sugar and ground cinnamon in a resealable bag. 

9. Toss the warm doughnut dippers, 3 or 4 or at a time,  in the cinnamon sugar until the lightly coated. Chef’s Tip: Toss the doughnuts in the coating as soon as they’re out the oven! 

For the sauce:  

10. In a jug, combine the NESCAFÉ Classic Original, cocoa powder, sugar, cake flour and ½ cup of hot water. Whisk to combine. 

11. Microwave the mixture in 30 second intervals for 2-3 minutes until thick and glossy. Whisk regularly. 

12. Serve the doughnut dippers with the mocha sauce for dipping and a warm cup of NESCAFÉ Classic Original and ENJOY!
