    A Drop Doughnut Recipe

    These are drop doughnuts which are quite different from doughnuts made with yeast. They take less time to make than traditional yeast doughnuts and they are more on the cakey side while yeast doughnuts are more bread-like.

    These doughnuts have a hint of coconut flavor. If you would like more coconut flavor add a few drops of coconut extract to the batter.

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ⅓ cup sugar
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup coconut milk
    • ¼ cup extra-virgin coconut oil
    • 1 large egg
    • Oil for deep frying

    Instructions

    • Pour oil into a heavy bottom pot to up to 4 inches. Place oil on medium heat to heat up.
    • In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix to for a batter. If the batter is too thick add water in little increments until the batter is at a scoop-able consistency.
    • Test the oil by dropping a tablespoon full of batter into the oil. If it sizzles then the oil is hot enough.
    • Drop tablespoonfulls of batter into the oil. Let the doughnuts fry for about 5 minutes until completely cooked through.
    • Remove the doughnuts from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
    • Doughnuts are best eaten warm.

    Notes

    For a more present coconut flavor add a few drops of coconut extract to the batter.

      Hey! I actually used coconut milk in this one so it is totally okay to use the canned milk. Hope you enjoy your coconut cooking experience.

      Hi Precious, I bet they will taste real good. I am a great fan of cocnut too and like you, I love experimenting in the kitchen. Have you ever tried adding coconut milk to your groundnut stew? The result is awesome!!!

        You can use any other oil but that will take away from the coconutty taste that coconut oil adds.
