Doughnuts are one of the ancient types of flour products. In the last decade, doughnuts have become very popular. Basically, the fame of this type of pastry was brought by Americans. This nation fell in love with doughnuts so that now it can not live without them. For example, in the United States, doughnuts are given free of charge to police officers on duty.
However, before America, doughnuts were prepared by the Germans in the distant past.
Let’s prepare soft and flavorful doughnuts ourselves.

Mix the components, sift flour into the mass, knead the dough.
Cover the dough with a plate and leave it until it increases in size. Then pour vegetable oil over the dough and knead it again.
Divide the dough into small lumps the size of a child’s fist.
Make a hole in each lump and stretch it slightly.
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and place the doughnuts in it. Fry the doughnuts on medium heat until golden on both sides.
