Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cups / 190g Self Raising Flour
  • 1 Cup / 250ml Greek Yoghur
  • Oil for Frying

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1/4 Cup / 50g White Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Fill a heavy-based pot with about 3 inches of oil and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine the self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt to form a dough.
  3. Tip the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about a minute until all the flour has been incorporated.
  4. Using a small spoon take about a tablespoon worth of dough and roll it into a ball. Continue until you have used all of the dough.
  5. Check your oil is hot enough by using a thermometer (180C or 350F) or fry one donut first as a test.
  6. Fry the donuts in batches to not overcrowd the pan. They should take about 2-3 minutes to puff up and turn golden brown.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and drain on paper towels or a wire rack for about a minute.
  8. If you are using cinnamon sugar transfer the donuts to the bowl with the sugar and toss while they are still warm.

Flavor Variations:

How can you make these delicious 2 ingredient donuts better? Toppings and Fillings. Honestly, the possibilities are endless but here are a few recommendations:

  • Salted Caramel Sauce – Drizzle the hot donuts with homemade or store-bought salted caramel sauce.
  • Creme Patisserie (Custard) – The donuts can be filled with custard or dipped.
  • Strawberries and Whipped Cream – Cut up a few fresh strawberries and dollop over freshly whipped cream for a delicious dessert.
  • Chocolate Sauce – Need I say more?
  • Chocolate Chips – Add about a 1/4 Cup of chocolate chips to the donut dough for delicious chocolate donuts.
