Go ' Nuts' with these Donuts

Isn't these little donuts looking cute ? They taste good aswel . These donuts brought back my  childhood memories. Every year , even now there will be a three day Indo - Srilankan Carnival / Fair happening near my house in convention center . So we used to go as a family . At the entrace there will be a donuts stall . Freshly fried mini donuts with simply dusted sugar on it . Ohhh yummm. There will be always a big line waiting to buy these donuts. We never miss to buy these donuts anyways.. They were soft , crispy and tastes soooo good.  

This month's challenge at Eggless Baking Group  was suggested by  Jayanthi from Sizzlingveggies . Jayanthi had suggested Donuts. It was quite challenging to make these Eggless Donuts. But it was fun to make . I wanted to make the replica of the Carnival Donuts , so i  just fried the Donuts and sprinkled the sugar on it . Later removed the excess sugar .

I searched so many recipes online , but was not satisfied with any , then came up with my own.    Initatally i thought of baking the donuts and then i fried them . I baked few donuts too and couldn't take a pictures of baked donuts.

2. Now add Milk , Mashed Banana and Vanilla Essence.
3. Using a dough hook knead everything together  aproximately for 7-8 minutes. It helps for a fluffy and soft donuts.
4. Place the dough in a clean bowl , close it with a wet and clean towel . Allow it to raise for an hour.

6. Roll out  the dough , Cut it using a round cookie cutter.
7. Arrange these Donuts on a greaced baking tray.
8. Allow it to rest for another hour by covering it with a wet towel.
9. Heat the oil in a pan , once the oil is hot drop these donuts and fry them.
10. Once these dounts are golden brown , remove it from the oil , drain the oil and place it on top of the paper towel.
11. Put some sugar in a clean box  and place these warm donuts .
12. Give it a good shake .

They are ready to eat . Donuts should be eaten little warmer .

The same dough can be used for the Baked Donuts too !!!! I did bake ,but before clicking a picture baked donuts were over .
