NO YEAST DOUGHNUTS 
1 c. milk
1 c. sugar
2 1/2 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3 eggs, beaten
4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
confectioners sugar
3 1/2 c. sifted flour
Oil for deep frying

In a bowl combine sugar and butter. Add eggs and blend. Add milk. In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add liquid mixture to flour mixture gradually, beating vigorously. Knead lightly on a floured work surface. Add a small amount of flour, if needed to keep dough from sticking.

Roll out to 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Use a doughnut cutter to cut dough. Fry in deep hot oil, maintaining a 370°F temperature.

When doughnuts rise to top turn only once. Drain doughnuts on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.

This worked great! Even without the yeast! Thanks!!
 Maria Little (Indiana) says:
Quick, easy and delicious. I think I would add a little more sugar to the next batch. Great for Christmas morning.
 Sangeetha Samuel (India) says:
These doughnuts were great!! My 3 yr old son loved it. Will surely try it again. Thanks!!
 Marissa (Ontario) says:
Great flavour, I agree with maybe a little more sugar, a little less flour, and for me I found I need to make quite small doughnuts to make them work out perfectly.
 Avery (Kentucky) says:
Yummy :) Loved them! I did them with powdered sugar on outside. Tasted great.
 Kari (Idaho) says:
Tastes great! But after I followed all directions, it was the consistency of cake batter. I had to add almost twice the amount of flour to get it to where I could roll it out.
 Lulusma (Cameroon) says:
Batter was the consistency of cake batter. I made "drop" doughnuts (instead of rolling out). Still needed to add another 1 1/2 cups of flour. Keep your oil at a low temp or they will cook too quickly on the outside and not be cooked on the inside. Had a good taste. Ingredients/Instructions, I give 3 stars. Taste 5 stars
 Calli (Ontario) says:
Meh. Not bad, but pretty much just tastes like pancakes.
 Gabi Warner (Pennsylvania) says:
I LOVE this recipe! I wasn't sure at first, but after I made it, I thought that everyone should try this! Perfect amount of flour, not too liquidy, not too thick! I'm only 12 and I think you should give yourself a pat on the back! Definitely making again soon!!!!

I used 1 whole egg and 1 egg white cut butter and sugar amount in half and added nutmeg and vanilla. They're amazing!!!! Was a little runny so just made drop donuts kids loved them as well!!
 Kashia (Georgia) says:
I made these for my sons. While they LOVED them, they tasted nothing like donuts, but exactly like funnel cakes.
 Olivia (Florida) says:
The dough was of cake batter consistency, and 1 1/2 cups of flour needed to be added, but I used the dough to make cinnamon donut fritters. They are SOO good!
 Rish (South Africa) says:
I followed this method and its quick and easy, just maybe add vanilla to the liquid next time, it tastes better id say.

 Fajar (Pakistan) says:
I am a kid, I made these alone. They are yummy!
 Ronda (Texas) says:
Does anyone know if you can use a regular "glaze" on these donuts (milk, powdered sugar, vanilla) rather than sprinkling with powdered sugar?
 Cooks.com replies:
Hi Ronda,

You should be able to use a confectioners icing or glaze. Or cinnamon sugar, coconut, etc.
