Instructions
1
Mix Dry Ingredients
Mix the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, sift them together, and place in a mixing bowl.
2
Make the Dough
Beat the egg (after removing the shell), mix well with fresh milk and sugar, then add oil and mix thoroughly. Pour the mixture over the flour and stir to form a dough.
3
Shape the Dough
Place the dough on a floured work surface, roll it out gently into a sheet about 1 cm thick, then use a donut cutter to cut out shapes.
4
Fry the Donuts
Heat oil in a pot to 150~160 C, fry the donuts on both sides until golden brown, for about 2 minutes.
5
Decorate the Donuts
Spread the almond slices evenly on a baking tray, place in a preheated oven and toast at 175 C for about 5 minutes. Cut the chocolate into small pieces, put in a small pot, melt over a double boiler, drizzle over the fried donuts, then sprinkle with the toasted almond slices.
