Egg free glazed Donuts

Ingredients :

For Donuts

Flour - 1 cup (1/2 cup self raising + 1/2 cup plain flour)

Yeast - 1 teaspoon

Baking Powder-1/2 teaspoon

Milk - 1/2 cup

sugar - 1 1/2 table spoon

Salt- 1/2 teaspoon

Butter - 1 table spoon

Recipe

Mix all the ingredients together except the flour and keep aside

 Sift both types of flour in a bowl with Baking powder.

Now add the flour mix together with the liquid mix very well. It has to be a sticky and loose dough.

Cover this and keep it in a warm place for couple of hours or till the dough rises and becomes double.

Dust your work space with flour and knead well.

    

Now, this is the time to start rolling the dough.  Thickness of the dough should be about 1/2 inch.

Now, cut into donut shapes.

Keep these in a tray and again leave them at a warm place to rise for at least 30

 minutes.

the donuts will look like this

Now heat oil in a frying pan and when the oil is hot enough start frying them on medium heat.

Keep turning them so that they are evenly cooled. Take them out when they are golden brown and wait for them to cool down.

For Glazing :

Icing sugar - 1 cup

Vanilla essence - 1 teaspoon

water/ milk - 3-4 tablespoon

Mix all the ingredients together.

You don't want the icing mixture to be very runny/ syrupy as they will keep dripping down from the donuts.

Now, take a bigger bowl of partly filled with hot water and put your icing mix bowl on this. stir well and then start dipping the donuts one by one.

Decorating your donuts:

Possibilities are endless. You can add color to your glaze. Instead to glaze you may like to use chocolate instead. Add sprinkles (I have used sprinkles here)

After dipping the donuts in icing sugar you may want to decorate and give them a dip in your favorite sprinkles.

Baked Donuts :

Instead of frying you might would like to opt for the baked donut option.  For this preheat the oven at 200 degrees and keep the donuts in a baking try and inside the oven for 12 minutes or so. (Times may vary for different makes etc)

After glazing : 

This recipe makes about 14 small-medium sized donuts, so if you are want to make a bigger portion please adjust the quantity of the ingredients accordingly.

Enjoy, this end result is worth all the effort really !!!
