How To Make beer doughnuts

  • 3
    Whisk a whole egg but only use half the mixture
  • 4
    Pour the beer-milk-margarine mixture in the middle of the flour well, pour in half of the whisked egg mixture, and then the vanilla essence. Mix together really well.
  • 5
    Leave mixture, covered, in a warm place to prove for 30 minutes.
  • 6
    Knead dough and roll out into a "snake", pinch off bits and form small balls, maybe about the size of golfballs.
  • 7
    Heat the oil in a pot, fry the balls of dough slowly to ensure that they cook through. Once they are golden broan, remove carefully with a slotted spoon.

    To make the syrup, place the 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a pot over a medium hot plate, keep stirring gently until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup thickens, pour the syrup over the doughnuts, decorate as desired.
