By

Am having lots of fun cooking in a alphabetical order this month . Thanks to Blogging Marathon group and sri valli for this lovely thought and theme for this month. Now coming to today’s letter  Which D. I thought of including an american favorites  bread and bakes  for my international theme . As a pure veggie we have very less Options  while we stay aboard and we tend to miss lots of country favorites . We generally skip the bakes in fear that it may contain egg in it. So i wanted to try this eggless version of donuts at home . 

A doughnut or donut is a type of fried dough confectionery or dessert food. The doughnut is very much popular in western countries Which are made as a sweet/ snack that can be homemade too. They are usually deep-fried from a flour dough, and typically either ring-shaped or without a hole which is often filled with some jelly or any filling. Today am here with a ring shaped doughnuts an eggless version . I have made them Mini in size but you can make them in original size too.

Milk – 3/4 cup (Luke Warm)
Butter – 1/4 cup (at Room temperature – should be soft)
