These no-yeast sour cream doughnuts with rum use a quick dough made with baking powder, so there is no need to wait for it to rise. Mix the egg with powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, sour cream, and salt, then add a little rum or rum flavoring and flour. Roll the dough out to 0.5 cm thick and cut it into rounds. Fill them with jam, thick fruit preserves, or chocolate, or fry them without a filling. Dust the fried doughnuts with powdered sugar.

Baking powder 1/2 packet

Vegetable oil 0.5 l

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

In a bowl, mix the egg with the powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, sour cream, and a pinch of salt. Add the rum or a few drops of rum flavoring, then the flour. Knead the dough by hand, transfer it to a flat surface, and roll it out to 0.5 cm thick.
Use a drinking glass to cut rounds from the dough. Add your choice of filling, then wrap the dough around it and seal well to form balls. Tip: You can also leave the doughnuts unfilled and fry them directly in hot oil.
Fry the doughnuts in a pot of hot oil until golden brown. Let them cool on paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Finish by dusting with powdered sugar.

Tip: Pour half a liter of oil into a small, deep pot so the dough balls can float and turn golden brown on all sides, not just on the bottom.
