Not your traditional Spudnuts or Krispy Kreme, but rather a donut similar to the French beignet. Dust with powder sugar and you have a fabulous dessert!

Step 1 of 21

Empty 2 (1/4 oz) packets of active dry yeast into a bowl.

Step 2 of 21

Add 1/8 cup warm water.

Step 3 of 21

Add 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp salt.

Step 4 of 21

Add 1 egg.

Step 5 of 21

Add milk and Combine until smooth.

Step 6 of 21

Add 1/4 cup shortening or butter into batter.

Step 7 of 21

Gradually add your 2 1/2 cups flour into batter.

Step 8 of 21

Beat on low for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl. Then beat on medium for 2 min occasionally scraping.

Step 9 of 21

You should end up with your dough for your doughnuts.

Step 10 of 21

Cover and let rise for 40 min in a warm place, until double in size.

Step 11 of 21

Wow! See it grew! 😃

Step 12 of 21

Place dough on a lightly floured surface, and flour your roller as well.

Step 13 of 21

Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness.

Step 14 of 21

Flour your cookie cutter or anything you will cut your doughnuts out with. Be creative-anything from cups to cans to bottlecaps! They will all taste yummy!

Step 15 of 21

All our glorious heart shaped doughnuts! Some people like to wait another 20 min to let the dough puff up before frying, but I skipped this because my dough had already properly risen.

Step 16 of 21

Heat up your oil! Don't let it get too hot. We're looking for about 350°F

Step 17 of 21

Place your dough in the hot oil, cook for about 1 min on each side or until golden brown. As you continue to fry, the oil will already be hot so time is cut down to about 40 sec on each side.

Step 18 of 21

Golden brown!

Step 19 of 21

Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Step 20 of 21

I combined powdered sugar, vanilla, and water to form a simple glaze that I dipped some of my donuts in. Either way it tastes phenomenal. Enjoy!

Step 21 of 21

You may cut out stars, hearts, or leave as donut holes.. I'm inspired to put some cinnamon into the batter next time. Or food dye in the batter to have cute pink fritters next time. Be creative. ☕

You're Done!

Bhavisha Patel last year

Many substitute for eggs, pick one of the following: •1 tsp baking powder, 1 Tbsp water, 1 Tbsp vinegar; •1 tsp yeast, 1/4 cup warm water; •1 Tbsp apricot purée ... There are 3 different substitutions, and each is for 1 egg. Just pick which one you find most convenient.

Hey do we hv an option for egg... In case wanna hv eggless thn wht to do???

Bhavisha Patel last year

Hi, nice recipe! My mom would make fried donuts similar to these, but using Pilsbury biscuit dough (the kind in the cardboard cylinder that pops open when you whack it against the counter!).

Jamie Williams last year

Pancake flour has baking soda and baking powder in it, and if it's buttermilk pancakes, then also powdered buttermilk. It will work, but may end up tasting more like a pancake than a donut.

I can do it with pancakes flour?

Abrew Toledo last year
