    I’ve been eating less cake and sweet stuff for a few years now. I know it’s difficult to imagine when the person saying this is running a baking blog for cakes and sweets, but it’s true! Most of the time I am not getting tempted anymore by the sweets at a bakery, for example, but when it comes to donuts…?! My brain seems to fall back to old habits and demands sugar and fat. These delicious Rhubarb (Curd) Crumble Donuts are no exception here. They were pretty much inhaled right after the photo shoot.

    There’s a great vegan donut shop chain called Brammibal in Berlin, I always go to when I’m in the mood for donuts. Unfortunately, the store is (quite) dangerous for me because I shouldn’t eat too much sugar. Welcome to my diabetic world. If you think »but they are vegan – that’s ok«… not for me. I wished vegan would mean healthy, but that’s not the case.

    Anyway. Every spring, you can find »Rhubarb Crumble Donuts« on Brammibal’s menu. They are so good I decided to make them myself at home. Recreating the same vegan donuts wasn’t essential to me in this case, so mine are made with eggs, butter, and milk. I also changed the filling – instead of rhubarb compote I decided to fill the donuts with rhubarb curd. I love it – so nice and creamy!

    For the icing and topping, however, I pretty much stuck to the original (just not vegan). The result is a fluffy delicious donut with a wonderful rhubarb curd filling, vanilla icing, and crispy crumbles on top. Are you understanding now why I have problems walking past a donut shop? It’s hard not to stuff your face with several of these in one sitting.

    Well… if you are ok with the kitchen smelling like a donut shop after frying a batch of these donuts, you will definitely be rewarded with a special treat! Do you know what’s best?! You can eat all 14 donuts at once if you like. If nobody knows you are making them you don’t have to share.

    The donuts are certainly a treat and I can only recommend them. Whoever is getting one of them (better not eat all of them yourself!) will be delighted for sure. There is so much »good stuff« that comes together here: fat, sugar, and rhubarb. The rhubarb curd on its own is super delicious and worth making! If you prepare the one I am referring to in my recipe, you can go sugar-free. At least for the filling.

    Speaking of sugar-free. If you can’t deal with a lot of sugar, fat (and everything else that tastes good), you might want to stay away from my other donut recipes here on the blog: my Bomboloni Donuts with Nutella or my Boston Cream Pie Donuts are just the worst! Just kidding – they are absolutely awesome!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. For the dough, add milk, butter, and sugar to a small saucepan and gently heat up on the stove until the butter has melted, and the sugar has dissolved completely. Remove from the heat and let cool to about 36°C/96°F (lukewarm).

    2. Add the flour to a large bowl (kitchen machine) and mix with the dry yeast and salt. Add the cooled mix and the egg yolks and knead for about 6-7 minutes until you get a nice and smooth dough that comes off the sides of the bowl. Shape the dough into a ball, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour. The volume should double more or less. While the dough is rising, prepare the crumbles.

    3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Mix the flour for the crumbles with the brown sugar, rolled oats, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Add the melted butter and mix in with a fork to create different-sized crumbles. Spread them on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment and bake for about 10 minutes or until the crumbles are crispy and nicely golden brown. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down completely.

    4. Roll out the risen dough on a lightly floured surface (approx. the thickness of a finger). Use a cookie cutter or glass and cut out circles with a diameter of about 7cm. Collect scraps and roll them out again to get more dough circles. Place the dough pieces on a baking sheet (lined with baking parchment), cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let rise for another 20-25 minutes.

    5. Heat up some fat/oil in a small pot until you get a temperature of about 175°C (347°F) – a thermometer* is very helpful here. If the temperature is too low, the dough will soak up fat – if the heat is too high, the dough will darken too quickly and not bake properly. Fry the dough circles (no more than 2-3 at a time) in the hot fat. Deep-fry the donuts first on one side for about 2 minutes, then flip them and deep-fry for another minute or so. Take them out of the fat /oil and let them drain on a piece of kitchen paper.

    6. Mix confectioners’ sugar, vanilla paste, and a little milk in a small, shallow bowl. The glaze should be quite thick so it doesn’t run off the donuts immediately – if necessary, add a bit more milk to thin out the glaze or confectioners’ sugar if it seems too thin.

    7. Add the rhubarb curd to a piping bag fitted with a donut nozzle*. Fill the completely cooled donuts with curd and press them into the vanilla glaze. Place the glazed donuts on a cooling rack, sprinkle the crumbles on top, and let them dry for a few minutes. Serve as soon as possible.

    1. Die Milch für den Teig mit Butter und Zucker in einen kleinen Topf geben und auf dem Herd erwärmen, bis die Butter geschmolzen ist und sich der Zucker aufgelöst hat. Vom Herd ziehen und auf etwa 36°C (Handwärme) abkühlen lassen.

    2. Das Mehl in die Schüssel einer Küchenmaschine geben und mit Trockenhefe und Salz vermischen. Die abgekühlte Milch und die Eigelbe dazugeben und alles in etwa 6-7 Minuten zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Der Teig sollte sich ohne Probleme von der Schüssel lösen. Den Teig zur Kugel formen, abdecken und für etwa 1 Stunde an einem warmen Ort gehen lassen – das Teigvolumen sollte sich hier in etwa verdoppeln. Während der Teig geht, die Streusel zubereiten.

    3. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Das Mehl für die Streusel mit dem braunen Zucker, Haferflocken und Zimt in einer Schüssel vermischen. Die geschmolzene Butter dazugeben und mit einer Gabel zu Streuseln verarbeiten. Die Streusel auf einem Backblech mit Backpapier verteilen und dann etwa 10 Minuten backen, bis die Streusel etwas Farbe bekommen haben und knusprig sind. Aus dem Ofen holen und komplett abkühlen lassen.

    4. Den gegangenen Teig für die Donuts auf einer leicht bemehlten Fläche etwa fingerdick ausrollen. Mit einem Ausstecher oder Glas etwa 7 cm große Kreise ausstechen. Teigreste kann man noch einmal zusammenkneten und dann erneut ausrollen. Die Teigstücke auf ein Blech (mit Backpapier) setzen, abdecken und dann noch einmal 20-25 Minuten gehen lassen.

    5. Fett oder Öl in einem kleinen Topf auf etwa 175°C (347°F) erhitzen – ein Thermometer* ist hier sehr hilfreich. Wenn die Temperatur zu gering ist, saugt sich der Teig mit Fett voll, bei zu hoher Hitze, wird der Teig zu schnell dunkel und backt nicht richtig durch. Die gegangenen Teigstücke (nicht mehr als 2-3 zur selben Zeit) im heißen Fett ausbacken. Erst auf einer Seite für etwa 2 Minuten frittieren und dann umdrehen und etwa 1 Minute weiter frittieren. Donuts aus dem Fett fischen und auf einem Stück Küchenpapier abtropfen lassen.

    6. Puderzucker, Vanillepaste und etwas Milch in einer kleinen, flachen Schüssel verrühren. Die Glasur sollte recht dickflüssig sein, damit sie nicht sofort von den Donuts runterläuft – ggf. etwas mehr Milch dazugeben, wenn die Glasur zu dick ist, oder Puderzucker nachlegen, wenn sie zu dünnflüssig wirkt.

    7. Den Rhabarber Curd in einen Spritzbeutel mit Krapfentülle* füllen. Die komplett abgekühlten Donuts mit Curd befüllen und dann in die Vanilleglasur drücken. Die glasierten Donuts auf ein Kuchengitter setzen, mit den Streuseln dekorieren und die Glasur dann einige Minuten antrocknen lassen. So bald wie möglich servieren.
