Ingredients
- 250g self-raising flour
- 200g Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 40g granulated sugar
- 1 ltr vegetable oil, for frying
To serve
- Taste the Difference salted caramel sauce
Step by step
- Add the self-raising flour and Greek yogurt to a mixing bowl with a good pinch of salt. Stir well then mix with your hands until it comes together into a dough. Tip out onto a floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Roll the mixture into 12 small balls of dough (about 38g each); cover.
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon on a plate; set aside. Pour the vegetable oil into a wide saucepan (no more than half-full) and heat to 160°C. Fry the doughnuts in two batches for 4 minutes, turning, until cooked through and an even golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
- Roll in the cinnamon sugar while warm. Leave to cool and then serve with salted caramel sauce.
