Instructions

• 1. Add all the dough ingredients in the pan of your bread machine (as per manufacturer instructions). Select dough cycle and press start.
• 2. When the dough cycle is complete, remove and punch down the dough. Transfer into a small bowl.
• 3. Add enough oil into a frying-pot on medium-high heat and heat until hot : Stick in a bamboo chopstick, if bubbles appear, it's hot enough. Then reduce the heat to low. Form the dough into about 2cm diameter small balls. Gently add the dough balls a few at a time into the oil. Fry them until golden brown on all sides over medium-low heat.
• 4. Transfer them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Place the doughnuts on the plate and sprinkle powdered sugar.

If you want to use a Stand mixer instead of a home bakery machine - this replaces steps 1-2 :

• In the mixer bowl, add all dough ingredients and mix with a dough hook. Use a spatula to help the dough mix if needed and mix until well incorporated and smooth. It should take about 10 to 12min. Transfer into a small bowl. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in size, about 50 minutes. When done, punch down the dough. Then continue from #3 above.
