Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 beaten egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3 tbs oil
- Oil, for frying
- Icing sugar, for garnish
Method
- Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together into a large bowl so the little doughnuts rise evenly.
- Beat the egg with the milk and the 3 tablespoons of oil in a second bowl.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth, soft batter forms with no dry pockets of flour.
- Heat the frying oil to 365°F and hold it there, since hotter oil will brown the outsides before the centers cook.
- Drop the batter into the hot oil by small teaspoonfuls, keeping each ball no bigger than a teaspoon so they cook through.
- Turn the doughnut holes after a few moments and fry them until golden brown on all sides.
- Lift the timbits out with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
- Roll the warm timbits in icing sugar until coated and serve them straight away.
