Ingredients:
– 2 cups flour
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 egg
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 2 tbsp butter (melted)
– 1 tsp baking powder
– Oil for frying
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the dough
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then add in the melted butter and mix until well combined.
Step 2: Add wet ingredients
Add in the egg and milk to the dry mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
Step 3: Knead the dough
Knead the dough on a clean surface for about five minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4: Let the dough rest
Cover your dough with plastic wrap or damp kitchen towel and let it rest for about ten minutes.
Step 5: Roll out your dough
After resting your dough for ten minutes, roll it out on a floured surface to about half an inch thick.
Step 6: Cut out your donuts
Use a cookie cutter or any circular object to cut out your donut shapes from the rolled-out dough.
Step 7: Fry your donuts
Heat up some oil in a deep frying pan until hot but not smoking. Gently place your cut-out donuts into the hot oil using a spatula or slotted spoon. Fry each side of your donuts for about two to three minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Step 8: Let your donuts cool
Remove the fried donuts from the hot oil and place them on a paper towel to remove any excess oil. Allow the donuts to cool before topping them with your preferred glaze or icing.
Conclusion:
That’s how you make homemade donuts without yeast. It’s easy and quick, and you can customize it with any toppings of your choice. You can also experiment with different flavors by adding cinnamon, vanilla extract, or lemon zest to the dough. Make sure you store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days for maximum freshness.
