Baursak
Kazakh Doughnuts
Baurzak are small doughnuts, shaped as triangles and spheres, served for special occasions in Kazakhstan. They are light and fluffy and can be either sweet or savory - for the former, dust with sugar or powdered sugar or sprinkle with honey; for the latter, reduce the amount of sugar in the dough. They are rather easy to make and quite tasty.

Kazakh Baursak
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp active dry or instant yeast
- 1/4 tsp salt
- vegetable oil for frying
Directions
Combine the flour, milk, water, butter, sugar, yeast and salt in a bowl and mix well to form a dough. Knead on a floured surface. Alternatively, mix and need using the hook attachment in an electric mixer. Return dough to the bowl, cover with a tower and let rise for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a frying pan over high heat. Remove a piece of dough and form into a ball with your hands. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Drop into the hot oil and fry, in batches, until golden brown. Drain in paper towels. Sprinkle with sugar, powdered sugar or honey.
