Easy Glazed Doughnuts Recipe – How to Make Doughnuts without Yeast – Yeast Free Cake Doughnuts Recipe

Its 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 a 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..

I would say that this is the best donuts i ever made. It was so fluffy and like eating a cloud that soft. You will never imagine that it has no yeast. It was so good..
Hope you will check my quite a long post and let me know if you try it..

Preparation Time : 10 mins
Cooking Time : 2 mins per batch
Makes : 12 to 15 mini doughnuts

Ingredients:

All Purpose Flour / Maida – 2 cups
Salt – 1/4 tsp
Baking Powder – 2 tsp
Powdered Sugar – 1/2 cup ( I used icing sugar)
Milk – 1/2 cup
Egg – 1
Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp
Melted Butter – 1 tblspn 
Oil for Deep frying

For Vanilla Glaze:
Icing Sugar / Confectioners Sugar – 1 cup
Milk – 2 tblspn or as needed
Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp

Method:

Take flour, salt, baking powder in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.

Take egg, sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla in a bowl and whisk using a fork.

Now add the flour in and mix well using the fork. Knead to a soft dough.

Take the dough onto a rolling board and roll it out. Cut doughnut shape using doughnut cutter or a cup and a small bottle cap. Take the scraps and roll it again and repeat the same, do this till the entire batch of dough is used up.

Heat oil for deep frying. Drop doughnuts in and fry till golden on both sides.

Remove it to a plate and set aside.

Make glaze by mixing all the ingredients to a little semi thick consistency. Dip doughnuts in and coat on both sides. Arrange it in a cooling rack so the glaze sets and harden.

Remove it and serve.

Pictorial:
Take your very basic ingredients
Take flour in a bowl

i used a glass to cut circles
like this
then i used a small bottle lid to cut the inner
just like this
Then i kept on take the scraps together and rolling till i finish with the entire dough
drop the doughnuts in oil
fry them
it will get golden in the bottom
now flip over and cook
drain them
i fried the entire batch
now take ingredients for icing
Take icing sugar in a bowl
add milk a tblspn at a time
mix well..You can see it is pretty thick
so i added a little more
mix well

    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.

      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.
