Quick-mix Doughnuts

Sunday cooking is sorted with these little crispy crunchy parcels of fluffy soft sweet deliciousness 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 ¼ cup flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ cup rapadura or brown sugar
• 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
• Pinch of salt
• ½ cup sparkling water
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
• Icing sugar and cinnamon to dust
• Light olive oil to fry in

METHOD

1. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, olive oil, salt, sparkling water and vanilla in a bowl with a metal spoon.

2. Heat oil in a saucepan on medium and test a little dough to see if it’s hot enough.

3. Once the test piece of dough begins to bubble quickly, drop a tablespoon of dough at a time into the oil. You can fry 2-3 doughnuts at a time. They will puff up and turn golden brown when ready.

4. Drain on paper towel and repeat with remaining dough.

5. Dust with icing sugar

6. Serve while hot.
