It’s been a while since I use my platform for baking. Now we are Filipinos at Enhanced Community Quarantine or Luzon Lockdown since March 15. I decided to make something that everybody can make for merienda or afternoon snacks. I derive the original recipe from Mortar and Pastry’s Youtube channel and twig it a bit so will be satisfying according to my liking and our household. Here are the following ingredients below:

2 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour

2 1/2 Tbsp. Baking powder

2 tbsp. Sugar

1/2 tsp. Salt

3/4 cup water or milk

1 tbsp. Butter  or oil

Toppings:

Cinnamon sugar

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. If you are butter for the recipe: In a saucepan, melt the butter and set aside to cool.
3. Flour mixture pours in melted butter into the bowl. Using a spatula or whisk to combine.  Knead it gently.
4. Once combine, gradually pour oil or water to the mixture until it forms to the tough ball. In a bowl with oil, let the dough ball rest from approximately 30 minutes.
5. Set your countertop and flour it and knead the dough again until smooth. Cut the doughnut dough and shape into balls or to traditional donut shape.
6. Deep fry the doughnut until brown.
7. Serve hot with Cinnamon sugar.
