Doughnuts are little balls of deep-fried dough. They are crispy on the outside, and light and fluffy on the inside. You won’t be able to stop at just one! This yoghurt variety is particularly soft and tasty. Depending on the type of plain flour you use, you may find that the dough is too soft to be shaped by hand. If so, don’t add any extra flour, simply use two teaspoons to transfer the dough to the hot oil. This method works just as well.
