The donut dough takes about two minutes to mix together and then the dough is ready to be cooked. These donuts are best fried. When fried, the donuts come out very light and fluffy. If you do not wish to fry the donuts, the next best method is cooking them in the air fryer. If you don’t own an air fryer, you can try baking them. Make sure you get an adult to help you with the cooking. Makes approximately 16 donuts.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup self-raising flour
- ⅔ cup applesauce
- Canola or vegetable oil for frying
- If you want to enhance the apple flavour, you can add some chopped apple pieces into the batter.
Method
- Combine flour and applesauce into a large bowl. Mix with a spoon until applesauce is completely incorporated into the flour and forms a sticky dough.
- Add a couple of centimetres worth of oil to a medium saucepan. Bring to medium heat.
- Scoop about half a tablespoon of dough and form into a ball before dropping into the hot oil.
- Fry the donuts until the bottoms are golden brown, then flip them and fry a few more minutes until the other side is also golden brown.
- Remove donuts from oil and place onto a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up excess oil and cool.
- If using an air fryer, cook the donuts for about six minutes or until cooked through.
- When donuts are cooled, coat them with your favourite topping, such as two tablespoons of sugar and half a teaspoon of cinnamon.
