Ingredients
  

Donuts

  • 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 3 Egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dry yeast
  • 1-2 cups oil, for frying

Icing

  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • pink, orange and white sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, yeast, and sugar. Use a spatula to combine them, then add the eggs.
  • Continue mixing the dough, then add the milk and butter.
  • Try to form a smooth, rounded dough. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and place it in a warm spot to rise for about 2 hours.
  • Roll each portion of dough into a ball, then flatten it into small discs. Place them onto parchment paper, ensuring the surface is lightly floured. Use a round cutter to cut out the shapes, and for smaller holes, use a 3/4-inch cutter.
  • Preheat a dish filled with vegetable oil or a deep fat fryer. Carefully place each donut into the oil, cooking 1-2 at a time for about 2 minutes, then flip them to cook the other side. Once cooked, place the donuts on a plate and let them cool.

Icing

  • Add water to the icing sugar and mix slowly until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Pour the glaze over each donut and decorate them with orange, pink, and white sprinkles.
