Cheats Donuts (v)

Rachel Allen calls these Balymone Balloons. But I call them cheats donuts. They're so simple to make, take hardly any time at all and taste d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s.

For about 12 donuts you need:
140g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
2-4 tsp sugar plus extra for tossing in once cooked
200ml soya milk

Mix everything together to make a smooth batter. Heat vegetable oil to about 180 degrees and then fry spoonfuls of the batter in the hot oil. Move them around to get them an even golden brown colour. Err on the side of small when adding the batter to ensure the middle goes puffy and gets totally cooked. Too big, and the inside will stay sticky.

Drain on kitchen paper and then toss in extra caster sugar. Add vanilla, cinammon, cardamon, lavender etc depending on what you fancy. Or serve dipped in melted chocolate or warmed jam. Addictive!
