Quick-Fix Doughnuts
Here’s a doughnut recipe that literally takes minutes to prepare and serve! It’s a no-yeast recipe so there’s no hassle of having to wait for the dough to rise blah blah blah. The mixing is simple, no machines or whisks or any major effort! Perfect for tea-time or even b-fast if you have a hubby like mine who loves such tidbits for breakfast hahaha.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour about 240gm
- 1/2 cup sugar 100gm
- 5 tbsp. butter or margarine room temperature
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 drop vanilla or lemon essence
- milk first check the dough, if you feel it needs liquid then start adding 1 tbsp. at a time as needed, it could be 4 tbsp. or more, or you might not need any water, depending on altitude and size of the egg, etc.
Instructions
- Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the salt followed by the butter/margarine. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until crumbs form. Add the sugar and mix it up again with your fingertips. Now add the egg and drop of vanilla (you can omit essence if you want), and using a fork, toss the flour and egg together for a couple of minutes. Literally dig into the flour with the fork and toss it gently upwards and keep doing that a few times, it helps incorporate air into the dough and also helps distribute the egg nicely. Add the milk gradually, a tablespoon at a time. Don’t put it all at once, the dough needs to remain solid but soft, not sticky or watery. Divide the dough into two to make rolling out easier, roll out to quarter inch thickness and start cutting your doughnuts. If you want them crispy, roll the dough out thinner than quarter inch and cut out the doughnuts. Keep doing this until all the doughnuts have been formed.Heat oil, test to check if it’s ready by sticking the long thin handle of a wooden spoon into the middle of your pan. Let the tip touch the bottom of your pan of oil. If the oil is ready, bubbles will come up in a lovely stream. If it isn’t….well….nothing will happen, lol. Ok, so once your oil is ready, start frying your doughnuts, and get them to a nice golden brown color on both sides. Remove and place on kitchen towels/tissues to blot. Once slightly cool, sieve some icing/powdered/confectioners’ sugar on them or you can decorate them with chocolate, sugar glaze, honey, nutella….etc. etc…Enjoy your yumyum quickie doughnuts!!

iv tried making this recipe twice now and whenever im making it, it decides to break while il frying it… what could i be doing wrong?
W/Salaam, make sure the oil is very hot when you fry them. If you add them to oil that isn’t hot enough, they would scatter.
heyyy…..even i tried making them and the same problem that fatima faced i had to face even though the oil was hot enough…..plz can u leme knw wat mistake did i do?
Hi! It could be that the baking powder was more than required, have never had that problem so cannot be sure what the reason is. Do try again please!
Assalam alykum

No, you will need butter for these doughnuts.

thank you

Hi Fauzia, do u have the recipe for making dadils (sp). Those small and hard mandazi?
Hi, sorry but I don’t know them. 🙁
Can I keep the balance dough in the fridge or freezer n use it the next day? Made the doughnuts they were yummy but I think little bit under cooked inside or is that how it’s supposed to be? Just few of us so I didn’t roll all the dough…….
If baking what should the temperature be at?
Preheat on 180 C and bake for 15 minutes or until done.
Yes you can store the leftover dough, wrap it well. It should not be under cooked inside, seems like the doughnuts needed to be fried a bit longer.
what i made was a bit bitter 🙁
A’alaikum 🙂 what i made was a bit bitter 🙁 what should i do to get a better taste next time !
W/Salaam. Strange, maybe the baking powder was off?
Salaam… Made these doughnuts, they r amazingly sweet. Jazakillah khairan fauzia
Salaams dear,do you have the recipe for the chocolate sauce that is spread on the doughnut,or is it just the melted chocolate?
W/Salaam, you can use melted chocolate.

W/Salaam, am really not sure why that happens with some people and not others. I can only assume it could be one of the ingredients used that is the culprit. Did you make any changes at all?

Special thanks from my 5 yes old son who loves donuts but allergic to yeast. HATS OFF TO YOU. MAY ALLAH gives U all the happiness of this world n hereafter.Aameen.
I made chocolate coated ones
I made chocolate coated ones …..as I had prob coating it with sugar ( not powdered) not sticking to the donut .what could b wrong di ? When exactly I have to coat sugar to them ??
I think maybe you should coat
I think maybe you should coat them with icing sugar when they are still slightly warm so that it sort of melts a little bit and sticks on there properly. 🙂

Felt Bad bcoz it was also my frst time making doughnuts
Hi, sorry to know yours did
Hi, sorry to know yours did not turn out that wll. Honestly, I cannot say for sure what the reason was. Did you follow the recipe EXACTLY? Any changes in the ingredients or amounts? Was the oil too hot or not hot enough? What was the consistency of your dough?
Yea the oil was Hot, nd no i
Yea the oil was Hot, nd no i didn’t change any ingredients in the recipe
my dough before i began rolling was of a solid consistency
it looked like a cookie dough
while i was rolling it was kinda cracking(maybe it was too soft)
so when i placed them in the Hot oil they cracked into half half
Could be that the flour was
Could be that the flour was not exactly measured and was less, or the egg was too big. In any case next time you see the dough is cracking, add a bit of flour and ensure it is a SMOOTH dough. That way it will not crack in the oil. 🙂
