What is No Yeast Donut?
‘Absence makes you crave things More’ and it cannot be more strongly said for all the baked/restaurant meals that we are so used to. Hence from the starting of the ‘stay home’ situation these days and with the scarcity of most common ingredients, I tried a couple of different batches before finalizing on this ‘No Yeast Donut – Eggless Donuts’ recipe !!! Also known as ‘Eggless Doughnuts’ ! Yup, they are actually a thing and to be honest they are Extremely Delicious Too! We are so hooked on to them that they are made at least twice if not thrice a week (shhhh don’t scream out loud 😉 ) We have made regular donuts at home so many times, but due to scarcity of eggs and yeast (not so readily available right now), I had to figure a way to satisfy those sugar donut cravings. My coffee was missing our usual sugar donuts and it called for desperate measures 🙂 Now I did coat the donuts with a generous amount of icing sugar but you can add any kind of topping/icing you like.
No Yeast Donut – Eggless Donuts Ingredients:
1.5 cups all-purpose flour (maida) 4 tbsp flour – for dusting and rolling dough 1/2 cup milk 1 tbsp plain yogurt (curd)* 3 tbsp sugar 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp baking soda Pinch of salt 3 tbsp vegetable oil 1.5 cup oil – to fry donut 4 Tbsp Icing Sugar – dusting the donuts
- You CAN USE 1/2 Cup Buttermilk instead of Milk+Yogurt
How to Make No Yeast Donut:
These donuts are extremely easy to make and I’m dividing the recipe into 3 parts to make it even more easier Prepare the No Yeast – Eggless Dough: If you have time, cover the dough with wet cloth n keep for 20 minutes as this helps the dough rise or soften a little.
Shape the Donuts (using everyday household items):
This was pretty challenging as right now I’m at my parent’s house in New Delhi, India and I donot have my baking/cookie molds here. Which meant I needed a round donut shape cutter (cookie cutter works great here if you have one) and a small one for that donut whole.
Frying the Eggless Donut:
Transfer the hot donut to a plate and sprinkle powdered sugar or coat with favorite icing. Serve fresh and enjoy
Extra Tips for Soft Donuts:
If you are scared to make no-yeast or eggless donut then you are in for a treat and quite a surprise cause these Donuts will change your mind. Thy are soft, crispy on the outside and all that is achieved by the dough mix of milk, yogurt, baking soda + baking powder. These ingredients together makes a perfect dough for crispy deep-fried or even baked donuts. If you donot have milk+yogurt, you can use buttermilk for the same quantity.
