These 2 ingredient donuts take less than 10 minutes and they’re the easiest donuts you’ll
ever make. They’re soft and fluffy and incredibly delicious. Welcome to recipes by carina where
I share with you how to make classic and simply delicious recipes, make sure to follow my

To start off making the donuts in a medium sized mixing bowl measure out the self raising
flour. We’ll need 1 1/2 cups or 190g if you are using digital scales. If you would
like the full recipe for these donuts it will be on my website as well as the full measurements
listed in the description box below.
If you don’t have self raising flour on hand you don’t need to buy any especially
for this recipe. Simply take one and a half cups of regular standard all purpose flour
and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and give it a quick mix together. This will work
for any recipe requiring self raising flour.
The second ingredient for these 2 ingredient donuts 1 Cup of greek yoghurt. I always get
asked for substitutes so if you don’t have greek yoghurt on hand natural unsweetened
yoghurt will also work. Buttermilk can also be used but you will want to use about 3/4
of a cup as it is a much thinner consistency than yoghurt.
Using a wooden spoon give the ingredients a good mix together until you have started
to form a dough.
While you are making your donut dough make sure you have a large saucepan or a cast iron
dutch oven filled with a neutral oil like vegetable or canola over medium heat so it’ll
be hot and ready to fry the donuts.
When you can no longer mix the dough with a wooden spoon tip it out onto your work surface
and knead for about 30 seconds to a minute just until all the dry flour has been fully
incorporated into the dough. You might find it’s a little on the wet side and is sticking
to your hands but just dust with a little more flour.
Using a small spoon or just your hands portion out about a tablespoons worth of dough and
roll it into a ball. Use a little extra flour to stop the dough sticking. This works really
well if you want little donut holes like I’m making here, if you would prefer round donuts
with or without holes you can also role the dough out and use a cookie cutter instead.
Continue this step until you have made all of the little donuts. You should end up with
about 15 or so depending on how big they are. If you would like to make more or less donuts
here you can easily halve or double the recipe. I would recommend making as many as you need
at once as these don’t tend to stay fresh after a day and I think they’re best eaten
warm.
When you’re ready to fry your donuts check your oil, the easiest way to do this is with
a thermometer, you want it to be about 180C or 350F. If you don’t have a thermometer
you can fry one donut first to check the temperature is ideal. It should take about 2-3 minutes
in the oil and turn a golden brown.
Using a spoon carefully lower the donuts into the hot oil. This is best done in two or three
batches depending on how large your pan is so the donuts don’t cool the oil too much
and stick together.
While the donuts are frying it’s time to prep your toppings, and honestly the options
are endless. I’m going with a classic cinnamon sugar but you can just drizzle them with salted
caramel sauce or chocolate sauce, or leave them plain and have with your favourite ice
cream.
If you are making the cinnamon sugar too in a small bowl measure out a 1/4 cup or 50g
of white granulated sugar. To that add 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and give it a good mix
together.
If you wanted to make your own salted caramel sauce you can find the recipe for that linked
in the description box below which would go so perfectly with these donuts.
Let me know in the comments below what your favourite topping or filling would be for
these. Maybe some whipped cream and strawberries, chocolate ganache, or custard.
After about 2-3 minutes or when the donuts are golden brown and puffed up use a slotted
spoon to remove them from the hot oil. You can either use paper towels or a wire rack
to drain off the excess oil. Let them cool for about 30 seconds to a minute while you
put the next batch of donut dough into the hot oil.
Take your fried donuts and place a few at a time into the bowl with the cinnamon sugar.
Toss then around with a spoon until they are completely coated. Set them on a plate to
enjoy.
I hope you give this recipe a try, these are so simple and easy to make and the perfect
sweet treat! Thank you for watching and I will see you in my next video.
