Homemade Donuts
Heat seed oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F).
Carefully drop the donuts into the hot oil, frying a few at a time. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the donuts from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
Coat and Serve:
While the donuts are still warm, roll them in sugar to coat.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy the donuts plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Dip them in chocolate glaze or top with your favorite icing.
Serve with a side of jam or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
Cooking Tips
Proofing: Make sure to allow the dough to rise in a warm place to achieve the fluffiest donuts.
Oil Temperature: Maintain the oil temperature at 180°C (350°F) to ensure the donuts cook evenly and don’t absorb too much oil.
Cutting the Dough: Use a floured cutter to prevent the dough from sticking.
