Mama's fake "doughnuts"

#TasteOfHome As you can tell tell from the photo, these look nothing like doughnuts, it’s fried bread, but that’s what my mom would call them to make us devour them! There’s nothing special about this recipe other than the memories and how we’d all believe (still to this day) that these are “doughnuts” - or even better, they’re mama’s doughnuts! 😋❤️

Ingredient

Food ration :

8 portions

1 cup

plain flour

3/4 cup

water

1 teaspoon

sugar

1 teaspoon

instant yeast

1/4 teaspoon

salt

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

I used the same cup for measurement.

* Step 2

Add the flour and salt in a deep bowl.

* Step 3

Add the sugar, yeast and water in a cup. Mix together, and leave for a few minutes until you see bubbles formed on the surface.

* Step 4

Add the yeast mixture to the flour gradually and mix together to form a dough. Brush the surface with a little bit of vegetable oil, cover with a towel and let it rest for around 45 minutes

* Step 5

Once the dough is ready, add a good amount of oil to a pan and heat.

* Step 6

Test if the oil is hot enough by throwing a tiny piece of dough in it. If you see bubbles around it then we're ready to start making our "doughnuts"

* Step 7

Shape the dough with your hand for a "homey" look 🏠 😊 🤗 and add it to the pan for almost 3 minutes on each side to get this nice golden brown colour

* Step 8

Place on a dish with paper towel to absorb the excess of oil. Then sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon while the dough is still hot, or serve with honey. If we're lucky at home we'd have some chocolate spread in the kitchen cupboard, but that was a luxury for us 😂
