Step 1

Gently melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix together. Once combined, take off the heat and set aside.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, half of the sugar, baking powder and salt with a fork. Make a well in the centre.

Step 3

Pour the butter mixture into the well. Combine gradually until a thick dough forms.

Step 4

Using your hands, roll dough into little flat balls and with your thumb, press a hole in the centre of each doughnut. (You may need to flour your hands for this part to avoid getting sticky!)

Step 5

Heat up the litre of oil in a pan. To know when it's hot enough, fry a little bit of bread in the oil. If it goes brown and floats to the top, in 45-50 seconds the oil will be ready!

Step 6

Gently lay the doughnuts into the oil using a spatula. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the doughnuts onto some tissue paper to soak up any excess oil. Then roll into a bowl of the remaining sugar.

Step 8

Enjoy!
