These fluffy, golden vegan doughnuts are a guilt-free treat that don’t sacrifice on taste or texture. The dough is light and airy, coated with a dusting of sugar that will make anyone smile. They’re perfect for a morning pick-me-up or a late-night indulgence.

Ingredients

for 12 doughnuts

  • ¼ cup vegan margarine(50 g)
  • ½ cup soy milk(120 mL)
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil, plus extra for frying
  • 2 cups plain flour(250 g)
  • ½ cup caster sugar(100 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Gently melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix together.
  2. Once combined, take off the heat and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, half of the sugar, baking powder and salt with a fork.
  4. Make a well in the center and pour in the butter mixture. Combine gradually until a thick dough forms.
  5. Using your hands, roll dough into little flat balls and with your thumb, press a hole in the center of each doughnut. (You may need to flour your hands for this part to avoid getting sticky!)
  6. Heat up oil in a pan. To know when it’s hot enough, fry a little bit of bread in the oil. If it goes brown and floats to the top, in 45-50 seconds the oil will be ready!
  7. Gently lay the doughnuts into the oil using a spatula. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the doughnuts onto some tissue paper to soak up any excess oil.
  9. Roll the doughnut into a bowl of the remaining half of sugar.
  10. Enjoy!
