Description

Ingredients

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• ½ cup coconut milk
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp active dry yeast
• ½ cup warm water
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cardamom
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• vegetable oil for frying donuts

Directions

• In a small bowl mix the yeast and warm water and stir. Let sit for 5 minutes until yeast dissolves.
• In the bowl of your mixer, add flour, salt, cardamom, and cinnamon and mix. Add vegetable oil, egg, coconut milk, sugar and yeast mixture.
• Using the hook attachment mix everything until the dough is not too sticky and it does no longer stick to the side of the bowl, add additional flour as needed.
• Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest for about an hour until the dough rises a bit.
• Heat oil in a frying pan, or a wok works well for this.
• Cut the dough in about 6 pieces to make it easier to roll and cut. Roll each piece so that the dough is about 1 cm (less than ½ inch) in thickness. Cut into triangles and place in hot oil. Fry on both sides. Place donuts on paper towels to soak up the oil. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Sprinkle with powder sugar and enjoy.
