Quick and airy donuts (yeast-free)
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. This recipe is perfect for those who don't have time to spend all day preparing fancy pastries—these doughnuts can be made in just an hour and turn out just as good as the classic version. Shape the doughnuts using a special cutter or a knife. If necessary, re-roll the dough scraps, but avoid using flour; instead, use a little more vegetable oil. Be sure to place the finished doughnuts on a paper towel to drain off excess oil.
