these are a cross between a Samoa cookie and a doughnut, they have toasted coconut and caramel topping and then dipped in chocolate like the girl scout Samoa cookie.
they tasted amazing, i used an English recipe for the doughnuts and its measured in grams so you will need scales but the caramel ingredients are measured in cups, i made the caramel in the microwave for quickness but you could even buy caramel candy and melt it and use that mixed with 2 tbsp of milk.
recipe
doughnut
250g strong white flour
25g caster sugar
20g butter
1 egg
1 sachet of fast action yeast (usually 7g)
2 g salt
75ml warm milk
65ml water
in a mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, salt and yeast, then warm the milk a little, not too hot or it will scald the yeast.
add the egg, butter and milk and combine.
add the water gradually to make a wet dough then tip out on to a floured surface and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until soft and smooth.
place in an oiled bowl and cover with cling film,
leave to double in size for 1 hour
tip out on to floured surface and roll out and cut out doughnuts. i used two circle cutters.
loosely cover with a bag and let double in size again for half an hour,

fry for about 3 minutes on each side,
leave to cool
