    Chinese Sugar Donuts #BrunchWeek

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone. Sweet Chinese Sugar Donuts, just like from the Chinese buffet, are easy to make at home and are a great sweet treat for brunch or anytime.

    I absolutely love the Chinese fried donuts at Chinese buffets, but we don't go to them very often. I know they aren't very healthy, fried sugar donuts, but they are so good! And they are easier to make than you might think.

    Spinach Egg Drop Soup and Hot Crab Rangoon Dip are two more Chinese recipes perfect for brunch!

    Learn how to make Chinese Sugar Donuts below, then read on after the recipe to see all the other great recipes shared today.

    Chinese Sugar Donuts

     Sweet Chinese Sugar Donuts, just like from the Chinese buffet, are easy to make at home and are a great sweet treat for brunch or anytime.
    Prep Time15 mins

    Course: Dessert/Snack
    Cuisine: Chinese
    Servings: 12 (makes about 25 donuts)
    Calories: 186kcal
    Author: Bernadette

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
    • 6 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • ¾ cup 2% or whole milk
    • canola oil for frying
    • ½ cup granulated sugar for coating the donuts

    Instructions

    • In a mixing bowl combine the flour, cut up butter, sugar, baking powder, sea salt, and milk. Use an electric mixer with the beaters attached to blend until the mixture resembles coarse dough crumbs. 
    • Flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough crumbles out onto the surface. Bring the dough together using your hands to form a ball. Press the dough flat to between ¼ and ⅓ inch thick. 
    • Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out circles of dough. Bring remaining dough together and press out again, repeating until all the dough is used. 
    • Heat ½ inch canola oil in a deep frying pan to 350 degrees F. Use a slotted heat-proof spoon to lower the dough circles into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown, reducing the heat if needed to prevent burning. Remove with the slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. 
    • Pour the sugar out onto a plate. Roll each donut in the sugar while still hot. Serve warm.

      I made these and I can say they're pretty tasty. Mine were lacking something though. I followed the recipe's amounts and ingredients but I think I need to add more salt next time. A tad of vanilla might be lovely in there. Procedure-wise, the only thing I changed was I used my dough hook on my mixer to kneed. Definitely will make again.
