No Yeast Puff Doughnuts

These homemade donuts are probably one of the easiest doughnut recipes you will make. Why? Because when you say doughnuts, you will have to think about having to rise the dough and wait for it because the yeast has to activate and all that. Nope, not this one. To give you an idea, it starts with choux (pronounces as SHOE) pastry dough . The same way when you make Churros or Cream Puffs. The inside of this doughnuts are a little hollow and slightly moist.
I call them puff doughnuts because they are very similar to cream puffs except they are fried instead of baked. 

Another thing, they also puff or double in size when frying. So, a teaspoonful or half tablespoon of batter is enough when dropping in hot oil. And because these little wonders inside is hollow, you can add any filling e.g. cream, jam or preserves, nutella, etc. if desired. I like sugar doughnuts and enjoy eating plain and simple like this. They are super easy to make and delicious.
