Ingredients
- plain flour (2 cups)
- granulated sugar (1/3 cup)
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 1 large egg, beaten
- milk (3/4 cup)
- 3 tbsp neutral oil, plus extra for the batter bowl if needed
- 3¼ cups neutral oil, for deep-frying
- 2 oz icing sugar, for dusting
Method
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.
- In a second bowl, whisk the beaten egg, milk and 3 tablespoons of oil until combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until a thick, soft batter forms; do not overmix.
- Pour the frying oil into a deep, heavy pan to a depth of about 2 in and heat to 350°F.
- Drop heaped teaspoonfuls of batter carefully into the hot oil, working in batches so the pan is not crowded.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until the doughnuts are puffed, deep golden and cooked through.
- Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
- Dust generously with icing sugar while still warm and serve at once.
