Simple Vegan Donuts

  

I freaking love donuts. And honestly, who doesn't? And making your own ones are the best because you can put anything you can on them. And they're fresh and warm. Ahh.. Just make these!

INGREDIENTS:
50 grams vegan margarine 
120 millilitres soy milk
2 tablespoons sunflower oil, plus 1 litre extra for frying
250 grams plain flour
100 grams caster sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS
1. Gently melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix together. Once combined, take off the heat and set aside.

2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, 50g of the sugar, baking powder and salt with a fork. Make a well in the centre and pour in the butter mixture. Combine gradually until a thick dough forms. 
3. Using your hands, roll dough into little flat balls and with your thumb, press a hole in the centre of each doughnut. (You may need to flour your hands for this part to avoid getting sticky!) 4. Heat up the litre of oil in a pan. To know when it's hot enough, fry a little bit of bread in the oil. If it goes brown and floats to the top, in 45-50 seconds the oil will be ready! Gently lay the doughnuts into the oil using a spatula. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

5. Transfer the doughnuts onto some tissue paper to soak up any excess oil. Then roll into a bowl of the remaining 50g sugar.  Or wait until cool and dip in melted chocolate or icing!
6. Enjoy!🍩🍩🍩
