No Yeast Donut – Eggless Donut Recipe

What is No Yeast Donut?

‘Absence makes you crave things More’ and it cannot be more strongly said for all the baked/restaurant meals that we are so used to.

I Miss Donuts so much and me being in India right now, there is no way I can get them home delivered 🙁

Hence from the starting of the ‘stay home’ situation these days and with the scarcity of most common ingredients, I tried a couple of different batches before finalizing on this ‘No Yeast Donut – Eggless Donuts’ recipe !!!

Also known as ‘Eggless Doughnuts’ !

Yup, they are actually a thing and to be honest they are Extremely Delicious Too! We are so hooked on to them that they are made at least twice if not thrice a week (shhhh don’t scream out loud 😉 )

We have made regular donuts at home so many times, but due to scarcity of eggs and yeast (not so readily available right now), I had to figure a way to satisfy those sugar donut cravings.

My coffee was missing our usual sugar donuts and it called for desperate measures 🙂

Now I did coat the donuts with a generous amount of icing sugar but you can add any kind of topping/icing you like.

How to Make No Yeast Donut:

These donuts are extremely easy to make and I’m dividing the recipe into 3 parts to make it even more easier

Prepare the No Yeast – Eggless Dough:

  1. In a large bowl, add all the ingredients and whisk to form a rough dough.
  2. Sprinkle some flour on a clean surface and place the dough
  3. Knead for 2 minutes to remove any cracks.

If you have time, cover the dough with wet cloth n keep for 20 minutes as this helps the dough rise or soften a little.

How to Make Donut #donut #donutrecipe

Shape the Donuts (using everyday household items):

This was pretty challenging as right now I’m at my parent’s house in New Delhi, India and I donot have my baking/cookie molds here.

Which meant I needed a round donut shape cutter (cookie cutter works great here if you have one) and a small one for that donut whole.

  1. So I used 2 container lids which had sharp edges to cut through the dough:
  2. Using a cookie cutter/glass/cover, make circles like donut shapes.
  3. Using a smaller cover/cookie cutter, cut in between the circle to form a donut shape.
  4. Remove the excess dough (you can roll the excess dough to form more donuts).

Frying the Eggless Donut:

  1. Heat oil in a deep pan/wok.
  2. Now gently lift the donut-shaped dough and add in hot oil (2-3 max in a pot).
  3. Fry them both sides on low heat until golden brown.
  4. Transfer the cooked donut to a paper towel (to soak any excess oil)
  5. Fry all the donuts and place on paper towel.

Extra Tips for Soft Donuts:

If you are scared to make no-yeast or eggless donut then you are in for a treat and quite a surprise cause these Donuts will change your mind.

Thy are soft, crispy on the outside and all that is achieved by the dough mix of milk, yogurt, baking soda + baking powder.

These ingredients together makes a perfect dough for crispy deep-fried or even baked donuts.

If you donot have milk+yogurt, you can use buttermilk for the same quantity.
