How to Make Soft Donuts without Yeast
In a bowl, add the egg and sugar. Mix with a fork.
Add the grated zest of an untreated lemon. Mix with the fork.
Add the oil and mix.
Add and incorporate the milk.
Add the flour gradually and mix with the fork.
Add the baking powder and mix with the fork.
When you can no longer mix with the fork, proceed to knead by hand on a lightly floured surface. You should obtain a firm and homogeneous dough.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin. You should get a sheet about 0.4 inches thick.
Put the oil in a pot. Turn on the stove and let the oil heat up to a temperature of 340°F.
Cut out the donuts. I used a donut cutter. If you want to check it out, you can find it here. If you don’t have it, you can use a cookie cutter and a plastic bottle cap to make the hole in the center.
Rework the excess dough to create more donuts.
Fry the mini donuts in plenty of hot oil. When they float to the surface and puff up, turn them. Drain them when they are golden brown.
When they are slightly dry but still warm, roll them in sugar.
Enjoy your treat.
