Instant Donuts Recipe

Are you craving some doughnuts but don’t have enough time to proof them? I have the perfect solution for this situation!! These instant doughnuts require no proofing, which means you can make and enjoy them in no time! They are super soft and yummy! 

I love love love doughnuts!!! They are super fun to make and more fun to relish. You can enjoy them with endless toppings and glaze. Doughnuts are a perfect party dessert that is loved by everyone, from kids to grown-ups. That is why I uploaded the mini doughnut recipe earlier for you all.

However, making doughnuts can be a bit tedious job, especially for those who don’t bake breads very often. Making doughnuts or breads, in general, involves a lot of kneading and proofing time, and then comes the cooking part. This could easily take 3 hours. For those who love bread making, it’s an enjoyable process. But for those who are not very familiar with bread making, this can seem a bit of a task. 

You need not worry when I’m here! I have the solution for this problem as well. You can enjoy delicious doughnuts without all that effort and time. Yess!! Instant doughnut is a legit thing, and this recipe makes soft, yummy doughnuts. 

Why You’ll Love This Recipe? 

  • It’s Quick: The USP of this recipe is that it’s way too quick than regular doughnut recipes. All you need to do is make a smooth dough, give it its shape, and fry the doughnuts. Simply toss them with a classic sugar-cinnamon mixture and enjoy! All this can be done well under 40 minutes because it contains baking powder as the rising agent as opposed to instant yeast. 
  • Soft: Since doughnuts are supposed to be soft and fluffy, this recipe makes exactly that! I have shaped them as small round balls that rise up while frying as it has baking powder instead of yeast. 
  • Customizable: You can add any glaze or topping g of your choice. I have used the sugar-cinnamon mixture, which is a classic topping for a doughnut. But you can add your favorite glazes such as chocolate, caramel, or simple sugar glaze. 

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • All-Purpose flour: To make soft doughnuts, we need all-purpose flour. It provides the right amount of softness and chewiness to the doughnut. 
  • Baking powder: It is the secret ingredient to making instant doughnuts. Now, I know many breadmakers would frown upon this method, but we need instant results. Yeast demands resting the dough to create carbon dioxide in the dough, which makes the bread rise. But all this requires at least 2-3 hours as the proofing is done twice. To cut down on the time, we have used baking powder as the rising agent. It instantly rises the dough when the doughnuts are fried. 
  • Salt: Any bread would require a pinch of salt to control sourness and too much yeast activation. Here, as well, the salt helps balance the taste of the bread. 
  • Buttermilk: It helps make the dough extremely rich in texture. Buttermilk also reacts with the rising agent to provide a good rise to the dough. 
  • Sugar: Doughnut is supposed to be sweet, so it has a higher sugar ratio than other breads. Use castor sugar only, as it can dissolve easily in the bread. 
  • Melted Butter: Salted melted butter provides the fat in the bread. When it is added while kneading the dough, it helps the gluten to stretch long and spread long. 

How To Make Instant Doughnuts

Preparation: Collect and measure all ingredients required to make the doughnuts. Also, heat refined vegetable oil in a drying pan. 

Sieve Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sieve dry ingredients flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Give it a little mix. 

Add Wet Ingredients: Add the buttermilk and melted butter to the sifted dry ingredients and knead to create a soft and smooth dough. 

Shape: Divide the dough into smooth balls weighing 30 g each

Fry: Place these balls into the heated oil to fry the doughnuts. Fry them until the ball turns golden brown. 

Flavor: In a plate or a large bowl, mix castor sugar and cinnamon powder. Toss the warm doughnuts into a sugar-cinnamon mixture. Serve as it is or with your favorite glaze. 

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Tip For Kneading

Bread Making requires good kneading to activate the gluten and create a network. Knead the dough well until the dough seems smooth and becomes a bit bouncy. 

Variation

You dip the doughnuts in glazed like chocolate ganache, simple sugar glaze, maple syrup, or caramel sauce. You can decorate and garnish as you please. 

How To Store Instant Doughnuts

I would recommend to consume them immediately once ready. However, if you wish to store them for later use, you can keep them in an airtight box in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Always warm them before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What should be the temperature of the oil while frying the doughnuts? 

Use a kitchen digital thermometer to check the oil’s temperature, which should be around 180C. Frying them at low heat can make them chewy, and frying at high temperatures will keep them undercooked. 

Can I use olive oil to fry doughnuts? 

No, you should use only flavorless and odorless oil, like refined oil, to fry the doughnuts

Can I use baking soda instead of baking powder?

ABSOLUTELY, NO! Both rising agents react differently in any recipe. Baking powder is less harsh than baking soda. Replacing powder with soda will make the doughnuts taste bitter.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
