MAGWINYA / AFRICAN FAT CAKES (MINI DOUGHNUTS)

Magwinya / African Fat Cakes (Mini Doughnuts) image

Magwinya, also known as African Fat Cakes (or mini doughnuts as I like to them call them) are balls of fried dough, coated in sugar and dipped in jam. Delicious.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

600 g plain flour
40 g caster sugar
7 g dried yeast
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp vegetable oil (plus extra for frying (about 200ml))
250 ml warm water (if too dry, add some more until a sticky dough is achieved. )

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, yeast, sugar, salt. Keep salt away from the yeast! Add the warm water and oil. Give it a good mix with a wooden spoon. Add more water if it's too dry. The dough needs to be sticky but not too wet.
Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for an hour. Once doubled in size, give it another mix and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat your vegetable oil up to deep-frying temp - 180°c/350°F. Do a test one first. Scoop a dessert-spoonful of dough out and use another spoon to drop it into the oil. Fry until golden brown (around 5 mins) ensuring you turn them every now and then. Check it's cooked through by cutting in half. Adjust time if needed and go ahead with cooking the rest in the same way. As I said, 5 mins is how long mine took but I can't guarantee that your oil will be a 180 - best to check with a thermometer.
Place all the cooked ones on a plate covered with paper towels, to drain the oil out. Sprinkle over lots of sugar and serve warm (or cold if you wish).
