Ring doughnuts

Meat-free. Nut-free.

1¾ ounces fresh yeast 
1½ cups warm water 
1 tblsp sugar 
3 eggs 
125ml (4 fl oz, ½ US cup) oil 
125g (4 oz, ½ US cup) sugar 
125ml (4 fl oz, ½ US cup) milk 
1 tsp vanilla essence 
1 tsp grated lemon peel 
700-800g (1lb 8oz-1lb 12oz, 6-7 US cups) plain flour 
oil for frying 
sugar for dredging

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water.

In a large mixing bowl mix together the eggs, oil, sugar, milk, vanilla, and grated lemon peel. Add the yeast mixture, then mix in the flour, a little at a time until soft dough is formed.

Knead for a few minutes. Cover and leave in a warm place to rise until it doubles in size, about 1-1½ hours.

When the dough is ready to use, a small piece dropped in a glass of water will float.

Roll out the dough about 2.5cm (1″) thick on a floured surface. Cut out circles with a doughnut cutter or use 2 cookie cutters, one half the size of the other to cut out the centre.

Deep fry four doughnuts at a time in hot oil, turning over halfway through cooking (about a minute altogether). Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust with sugar.
