Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour.

 Shape the Doughnuts

• Roll small pieces of dough into 1-inch balls using your palms.

• Place them on a floured tray while heating your oil.

 Heat the Oil

In a deep saucepan or fryer:

• Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

• Test with a small piece of dough—it should sizzle and float.

 Fry Until Golden

• Gently drop 4–6 balls at a time into the oil.

• Fry for 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.

Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

 Coat in Sugar

While still warm, roll each doughnut in a shallow bowl of granulated sugar for a sweet finish.
