Today I think about making something that I enjoy it from my childhood time (it's a long, long and very long time ago, haha), "Sugar donuts". Simple treat, that doesn't need anything much, no yeast, no proofing, no kneading, just simple step as mix, cut and fry.
No, I don't have any trick or tip for you, because it's very easy to make, haha, if you want you can add vanilla extract (or use vanilla sugar for covering the donuts), that's all!
When frying, using thermometer can help a lot (no more guessing, ^^) but if you don't have it just fry in in medium heat oil. Drop it in sugar bowl while hot will make the sugar stick to the donut better or you can skip this step if you don't want to get more sugar.
Serve warm is the best choice for me but it's still delicious when cool. Oh, you don't have to believe me, just try it yourself.
