Glazed Doughnuts Recipe
It's doughnuts time. It is my favourite and i can never stop making new donuts recipes whenever i get time. I have already shared quite a few recipe in my blog. This version is a yeast free version and also an instant version.
It is made with baking powder and it has a cake like texture in the doughnuts so these are called as cake doughnuts. I loved it so much. Because the dough is made under 10 mins and these doughnuts from start to finish is made under 30 mins. So easy.

Hi Aarthi, in the pictorial description u showed 1 layer of dough that you rolled. But in the next pictorial it shows that two layers of dough are placed one above the other. So I am a little confused here. Please guide me through the steps. Thanks.
Aarthi
@Theresa Monteirowhere is the two layers, not sure about what you are asking. can u be little more specific
Theresa Monteiro
Hi Aarthi, I goofed up. I probably mixed up 2 different things together. I am sorry for the confusion. I followed ur recipe and my 7 year old son loved it. thanks for the easy and yummy recipe. God bless.

This has been the go to recipe of my siblings and I every time we want donuts. Since we don't have yeast, it's great to find an alternative that's so easy to prepare and cook (the pictures for each step makes it easier to understand as well). The glaze is also great. Thank you so much!

Hi mam. I tried this recipe. I used ingredients just as u had mentioned. Even the measurements. But the dough turned out too sticky. I added more than half cup of extra maida. But still it was sticky . Couldnt roll out n cut shapes. So just ended up dropping them like bondas in oil. What could b the reason. Kindly help.but tasted good. I wanna try again.
