Ingredients:
- 350 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams milk
- 75 grams sugar
- 25 grams vegetable oil
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- Vanilla extract, to taste
- Nutella, as needed
- Milk, as needed for brushing
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, oil, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix all the ingredients together with a fork until a soft, homogeneous dough forms.
- Shape the Doughnuts:
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it briefly. Form the dough into a log and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small ball to form the doughnuts.
- Bake the Doughnuts:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a little milk. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the doughnuts are golden brown.
- Fill and Decorate:
- Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, fill them with Nutella using a piping bag with a small nozzle. Dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy!
