Steps

1

Add all the ingredients marked with ★ (egg, sugar, oil, and optional milk) to a bowl. For easy mixing, add the sugar first. (Add milk if you want a softer texture for kids; skip it for a firmer donut.)
2

Mix well. Heat oil to about 320–340°F (160–170°C).
3

Zero out your scale, then add all the ☆ ingredients (flour and baking powder).
4

Mix thoroughly until combined.
5

Pour a little oil onto a small plate and rub it on your hands. Shape the dough into balls about 1 1/4–1 1/2 inches (3–4 cm) wide, then fry them.
6

When the surface cracks and turns a nice golden brown, they're done.

They'll get crispier as they cool. Great for sharing with friends or kids. I usually double the recipe!
