Servings 12 donuts
Calories 291kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup plant milk warm, I use soy milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1/4 cup vegan butter melted, can sub coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 1/2 cups flour
- oil for frying
Cinnamon Sugar
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients and knead for 2-3 minutes. Cover dough and let rest until doubled in size, about 20-40 minutes depending on the temperature in your home.
- Punch down dough and roll into a flat rectangle about 1/4" thick. Cut dough into circles using a mug or cut into rectangles using a knife. Place the cut pieces on a lightly floured parchment paper. Cover and let rise again about 20 minutes until nearly doubled in height.
- Heat about 2" of oil in a deep pot. When a water droplet immediately sizzles when you drop it into the oil, it's ready for your donuts. Carefully fry 2-3 donuts at a time, about 2 minutes per side. Drain the donuts on paper towels or in a strainer.
- To coat with sugar or cinnamon sugar, place the donuts in the sugar mix about a minute after they've been fried. If they are too cool, the sugar won't stick.
