3 x Ingredients to the softest and fluffiest doughnuts.
1.5 cups Self Raising Flour Have a little extra to flour a kneading board
1 Cup Greek Yoghurt Try to use yoghurt that states it's Greek not just Greek style yoghurt. It's thicker in consistency
Aroma Sweet - Approx 4-8 tsp depending on how sweet you want your doughnuts. Put this ready in a bowl
Oil for frying Fill a heavy based pot with enough oil so that your doughnuts will be covered and at least slightly float rather than touch the bottom. Use a medium high heat to get the temp to 180 degrees Method:
Use a medium sized mixing bowl to combine the self-raising flour & Greek yoghurt. Form a dough.
On a floured surface, knead the dough for approx. a minute until all the flour has been well kneaded.
With a small oiled ice-cream scoop, take a scoop of dough & roll it into a ball. Continue until you have used all of the dough. Using the ice-cream scoop means your balls are a consistent size.
Make sure your oil is 180C. Do a one doughnut fry as a test.
Fry the doughnuts in batches and don't squash them in the hot oil. Fry for approx. 2.5 minutes to get a puffiness and turn a golden colour.
With a slotted cooking spoon, remove the doughnuts from the oil & let the oil drain off on paper towels.
Whilst warm, transfer the doughnuts to the Aroma Sweet bowl and toss gently.
*You can also drizzle with honey and crushed nuts or with nutella.
