African Doughnuts - Twisted Doughnuts
The food fusion in the world is amazing! You know why I say so? Sierra Leoneans make these twisted doughnuts, Cameroonians make them – in Cameroon, they are referred to as gateau (just like Cameroonian gateau). They are also made in Korea – where they are called kkwabaegi. And they are made in the Philippines – where they are known as shakoy. AND this same dough could be used to make Nigerian doughnuts by simply shaping the dough into rings!
So these twisted doughnuts cuts across continents from Africa to Asia! And let me tell you: they have a universally appealing taste so no matter what part of the world you are from, you will enjoy them. I mean, who can resist the slightly crunchy outside with the fluffiness on the inside and a buttery taste? No one!

Ingredients
4 cups all purpose flour (500g or 1/2 kg)
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 oz sachet)
12 oz evaporated milk (354ml or 1 3/4 cups)
3 tablespoons butter - melted
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt (not heaped)
1 egg
Instructions
Heat the milk to be just slightly warm to the touch. I heated it for 1 minute in the microwave. The milk should be about 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the yeast to the milk and let it rest for 2 minutes. Add the sugar, salt, melted butter and egg then whisk everything together. Finally, add in the flour and mix with a wooden spoon to form a dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
