How to make VARRI CAKES from The Legend of Korra! Feast of Fiction S3 E11 | Feast of Fiction

The Legend of Korra comes to life with these delicious Varri Cakes!
RECIPE BELOW:

INGREDIENTS:
1 package of Active Dry Yeast
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp. Sugar

2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1 egg
1 tbsp. melted butter

Canola Oil
Raspberry or Strawberry jam for filling
Powdered Sugar
Dark Blue icing
Light blue icing

Begin by activating your yeast. Heat your milk up to 105-110 degrees F and pour it over your yeast with the sugar. Stir well. After about 10 minutes your ingredients should have a layer of foam on top.

Combine your flour and salt in a mixer. Pour in your yeast, an egg, and melted butter. Mix until the dough is properly kneaded. This should take anywhere from 5-7 minutes in a mixer and 10-12 minutes by hand. Take out your dough and cover it in an oiled bowl to let it rise. After about 30-40 minutes your dough should have doubled in size.

Flour a surface and place your dough onto it. Punch it down and knead it a few times to release any air trapped inside. Roll it out and cut the dough into rectangles. Here you can make your Varri cakes as large or as small as you’d like! Ours were about 2 inches x 4 inches.

Once your rectangles have been cut out, cover them and let them rise again for 15-20 minutes.

While the dough is rising, let’s prepare our deep fryer! This is a more dangerous process so make sure to have adult supervision and proper safety protocols in place before you get going. Fill up a fryer or large pot with your oil and increase the heat to around 330 degrees F. Carefully place your dough rectangles inside the oil. Don’t overfill the pot. Cook one side for about 2 minutes then flip it over. You can check on how ready the dough is before you flip it over. You might need to fry it for just a little longer!

Remove the fried dough rectangles when they are finished and let them dry and remove excess oil on a paper towel.

To fill the donuts with jam, carefully poke a hole in either of the sides and excavate the insides. We used a chopstick for this! Then pipe in your jam and seal it off! Prepare a bowl of powdered sugar or fill a sifter and powder your Varri Cakes. When they’ve cooled and dried, spread frosting across the top. Place these in the freezer to dry them more quickly. Then carefully use your icing to draw the Varrick logo onto each cake! You can also draw out the pattern using candy melts on wax paper if you’d like a more precise look to your delicious treats.
