Fluffy Italian Donuts
- 300 grams Flour (cake flour)
- 2 Eggs
- 75 grams Sugar
- 8 grams Baking powder
- 165 ml Milk
- 1 dash Liqueur (less than 1 tsp -- just enough to add a bit of fragrance)
- 1 Vegetable oil (as needed for deep-frying)
- In a bowl, combine the sugar and egg.
- Add the sifted flour and mix some more.
- Once the batter is incorporated, add the baking powder.
- Add the milk (165 ml or 150 g) in several batches, add the liqueur, and mix well.
- If the dough from Step 2 is too thick and it is tough to whisk, add the remaining milk, a little at a time, to make it thinner.
- The batter should be not too thick or not to thin, but needs just enough thickness as shown in this photo.
- Form small balls using 2 small spoons, drop the batter into the heated oil at about 160-170C (320 to 338 Fahrenheit), and slowly deep-fly.
- The donuts should rise and start to spin around.
- They will turns into round balls and float to the top.
- Once they're a nice fox-brown, take them out of the oil and place on a rack or similar to remove any excess oil.
- Sprinkle on some powdered sugar, and they're done.
