Dairy-Free Donuts

These donuts are a delightful treat—airy, golden, and entirely milk-free. Simple to make using warm water, yeast, egg, and a touch of butter, the dough rises beautifully before being shaped and fried to a crisp cloud-like puff. Once lightly dusted with powdered sugar, each bite offers a tender, slightly sweet contrast of crispy exterior and fluffy center.

Ideal for an easy breakfast, a gentle afternoon snack, or unexpected guests—these donuts bring joy without the dairy or fuss.

• 
  Melt 40 grams of butter in the microwave for 25 seconds, or in a saucepan on the stove.
• 
  Pour the melted butter into a deep bowl.
• 
  Add two tablespoons of sugar.
• 
  Add half a teaspoon of salt.
• 
  Pour 200 ml of warm water.
• 
  Mix with a whisk, then add an egg, and mix again.
• 
  Add a teaspoon of dry yeast. Stir a little, cover the bowl, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
• 
  Then add the flour and knead the dough with your hands.
• 
  Form a ball of dough and cover with a napkin or plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place for an hour to allow the dough to rise.
• 
  Roll out the dough with a rolling pin.
• 
  Use a glass to form a circle.
• 
  Then, using the cap from a plastic bottle, form a smaller circle in the middle.
• 
  Repeat with the rest of the dough. Leave the donuts on the table for 10 minutes, then fry them.
• 
  Pour plenty of oil into a pot or pan and turn on the stove to heat it up.
• 
  Put the donuts in oil and fry on high heat.
• 
  Flip them over once they start to brown.
• 
  Line a bowl with paper towels, then place the donuts in it to remove excess oil.
• 
  Sprinkle the donuts with powdered sugar.
