Doughnuts
INGREDIENTS
- 100 g Vegan butter
- 250 ml Soya milk
- 4 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 500 g Self-raising flour
- 100 g White sugar
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 L Sunflower oil, for frying
- 200 g Vegan dark chocolate bar (optional)
- 1 tsp Salt
- Plant milk, as needed (optional)
- White sugar, for dusting (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 Melt the butter in a small pan, then add the soya milk and vegetable oil. Stir and warm through for a moment. Take off the heat.
- 2 In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix well.
- 3 Make a well in the centre and pour in the liquid. Mix with your hands until smooth.
- 4 Divide the dough into small balls.
- 5 Flatten each one slightly and make a hole in the centre to shape the doughnuts.
- 6 Arrange the shaped doughnuts on a tray and cover with a cloth. Leave to rest for a few hours, until they have grown in size.
- 7 Pour the oil into a frying pan and heat until very hot.
- 8 Fry the doughnuts until golden, then turn and fry the other side until equally golden. Lift out onto a plate lined with kitchen paper.
- 9 For a simple coating, roll the doughnuts in a plate of sugar while they are still warm.
- 10 For a chocolate coating, melt the chocolate bar over a bain-marie, adding plant milk if needed, depending on how creamy you like it. Dip the doughnuts halfway into the chocolate. Leave to set before serving.
