INSTRUCTIONS

• In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and baking powder.
• Using only your fingers, crumble the cold cubes of butter into the dry ingredients till the mixture resembles breadcrumb like texture.
•  Add the milk 1-2 tbsp at a time and start combining to form a dough. Add more milk only as required till you have a soft but not very sticky dough. You should be able to make balls out this easily. If the dough is too difficult to work with, you could refrigerate it for 5-7 minutes.
• Divide the dough into small smooth balls and place on a tray/parchment.
• Heat oil in a pan. While the oil is heating, mix the cinnamon powder and sugar in a bowl and keep aside.
• Once the oil is ready, drop 2-3 doughnut balls into the hot oil and fry on each side for 1.5-2 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove the fried balls onto a plate lined with paper towels and let cool for 15-20 seconds.
• Immediately transfer to the cinnamon sugar and toss well to coat evenly. To coat in chocolate, let the doughnut holes cool first then dip in the chocolate sauce/ganache or melted chocolate.
• To fill the center - Fit a piping bag with a small tip nozzle and heat the jam in the microwave for 10-12 seconds till it’s flowy. Fill it in the prepared piping bag and fill the cooled doughnuts by pushing the tip of the piping bags into the sides of each doughnut hole.
