I've fought making doughnuts. I'm not really sure why - probably it was the idea of deep-frying. Not the fat - I don't mind a bit of that. No - it was about the fuss, the mess, the chance of slopping oil all over my clothes, or worse, scalding my hands. Or my children's hands.So I waited until everyone was preoccupied, and I crept out to the kitchen to conquer my fear while nobody was watching. I wanted to do it quickly, so I used self-raising flour instead of a yeast-based dough. I apologise for the complete lack of measurements*. This is a recipe that is best done by feel.
Ingredients
- apple - peeled and loosely diced
- milk (I used almond milk)
- softened butter (I used dairy-free ghee)
- egg
- self raising flour (I used gluten free)
- pinch salt
- oil for frying (I used grapeseed)
- sugar and cinnamon for dusting
