Step by step procedure

Now that you have all the ingredients ready, it’s time to start preparing these delicious Spanish donuts! Follow these steps carefully:

Step 1: Preparation of the base mix

In a large bowl, beat melted butter and sugar until smooth. Next, add the eggs and vanilla, mixing everything well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.

With floured hands, form small rings with the dough and place them on a previously greased baking sheet. You can shape the donuts any way you want, whether circular or ring-shaped. Make sure you leave enough space between each one so they don’t stick together during cooking.

Step 5: Baking

Preheat your oven to 180°C and then place the tray with the donuts in the oven. Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and cooked through.
