Ingredients
for 12 doughnuts
-
¼ cup butter / margarine(50 g)
-
½ cup milk (120 mL) -
2 tablespoons sunflower oil, plus extra for frying
-
2 cups plain flour (250 g)
-
½ cup caster sugar (100 g)
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
Preparation
- Gently melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix together.
- Once combined, take off the heat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, half of the sugar, baking powder and salt with a fork.
- Make a well in the centre and pour in the butter mixture. Combine gradually until a thick dough forms.
- Using your hands, roll dough into little flat balls and with your thumb, press a hole in the centre of each doughnut. (You may need to flour your hands for this part to avoid getting sticky!)
- Heat up oil in a pan. To know when it’s hot enough, fry a little bit of bread in the oil. If it goes brown and floats to the top, in 45-50 seconds the oil will be ready!
- Gently lay the doughnuts into the oil using a spatula. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the doughnuts onto some tissue paper to soak up any excess oil.
- Roll the doughnut into a bowl of the remaining half of sugar.
- Enjoy!
