Preparation Time

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 5 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Servings: 3-4

Ingredients

For the Donuts:

  • 200g (1 ½ cups) all-purpose flour (If using self-rising flour, omit baking powder)
  • 8g (2 tsp) baking powder
  • 270g (1 cup) yogurt (Can replace part with milk for a crunchier texture)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (Optional, adjust to taste)
  • Oil, for frying

For the Sugar Coating (Optional):

  • ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. Sift the dry ingredients: In a bowl, sift together flour and baking powder to remove lumps.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: Add yogurt and sugar to the flour mixture and mix well until a sticky dough forms.

💡 Tip: If you want crunchier donuts, replace 35% of the yogurt with milk (Use 65% yogurt + 35% milk).

Step 2: Prepare for Frying

  1. Heat enough oil in a deep pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough (about 170°C / 340°F) but not smoking.
  2. Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a round tip. If you don’t have a piping bag, use a Ziploc bag and cut a small opening at the tip.

Step 3: Fry the Bubble Donuts

  1. Pipe small portions of dough directly into the oil, cutting each piece with scissors. The dough will sink at first but quickly puff up and float like bubbles!
  2. Stir gently to ensure even frying, turning the donuts as they cook.
  3. Once they turn light golden brown, remove them from the oil and place them on a mesh tray or paper towel to drain excess oil.
