Kids never have enough of it and the adults too aren’t far behind. The good old traditional doughnuts are almost legendry super-treats for all ages. Though few variations of it have surfaced now and then, the original simple taste remains an all-time favourite.
Here is a no-frills doughnuts recipe which you would just not like to ignore.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp white vinegar
100ml milk
1 tbsp shortening
50g sugar
1/2egg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
150g sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
Pinch salt
oil for deep frying
sugar for dusting
Stir the vinegar into the milk and allow to thicken for a few minutes. Place the shortening, and sugar into a medium bowl and beat until smooth, then add the egg and vanilla, and continue to beat till it blends well. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture alternating with the vinegar and milk, until it forms a sticky dough. Shape into 10 doughnut shapes and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
Heat the oil and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels, and allow to cool a little. Finally dust with the sugar and serve. And, watch them disappear in no time.
