Glazed Doughnuts Recipe

It's doughnuts time. It is my favourite and i can never stop making new donuts recipes whenever i get time. I have already shared quite a few recipe in my blog. This version is a yeast free version and also an instant version.

It is made with baking powder and it has a cake like texture in the doughnuts so these are called as cake doughnuts. I loved it so much. Because the dough is made under 10 mins and these doughnuts from start to finish is made under 30 mins. So easy.

I would say that this is the best donuts I ever made. It was so fluffy and like eating a cloud that soft. You will never imagine that it has no yeast. It was so good.

EGGLESS DOUGHNUTS INGREDIENTS

1) All Purpose Flour: plain flour is used to make this donuts which makes it super soft and tender. Soft and fluffy doughnuts which is made chocolate flavour with chocolate filling.

2)Butter: butter is added to make the doughnuts tender and moist. use unsalted soft butter for making the best doughnuts ever.

3)Milk powder: milk powder is added into the dough to make it more soft and moist. But it can be skipped.

Hope you will check my quite a long post and let me know if you try it.

How to Make Glazed Doughnuts

Take flour, salt, baking powder in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
Take egg, sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla in a bowl and whisk using a fork.
Now add the flour in and mix well using the fork. Knead to a soft dough.
Take the dough onto a rolling board and roll it out. Cut doughnut shape using doughnut cutter or a cup and a small bottle cap.
Take the scraps and roll it again and repeat the same, do this till the entire batch of dough is used up.
Heat oil for deep frying. Drop doughnuts in and fry till golden on both sides.

Hi Aarthi, in the pictorial description u showed 1 layer of dough that you rolled. But in the next pictorial it shows that two layers of dough are placed one above the other. So I am a little confused here. Please guide me through the steps. Thanks.

  This has been the go to recipe of my siblings and I every time we want donuts. Since we don't have yeast, it's great to find an alternative that's so easy to prepare and cook (the pictures for each step makes it easier to understand as well). The glaze is also great. Thank you so much!
