Sugar Donuts

1/2 sachet instant yeast (Saf Instant)

15ml warm water 

100 ml warm milk

43g sugar

1/4 tsp salt

20g shortening

1/2 egg (or 1 small egg)

1 1/2 cups flour 

Add instant yeast to the warm water, sugar and milk into your mixing bowl, stir and wait for it to froth for about 5 minutes. Add egg, shortening & salt and flour and continue kneading on medium speed for 5 minutes until the dough stops sticking to the bowl.

Oil the sides of the mixing bowl and let the dough rise for an hour or doubled its original size.

Roll out the dough on floured surface about 1/2 inch thick and cut into circles. Cut another smaller circles in the middle. Place on floured parchment paper. 

Don't throw away the centre!!! Mix it back in with the balance dough for more donuts!

Let donuts rest for about 10 minutes while you heat your oil. Fry each donut until golden and roll in sugar. Yield about 10 donuts.
