👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. **Prepare the Wet Ingredients:**
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and melted butter. Mix until thickened and light in color.
- Add the eggs and mix well.
- Pour in the evaporated milk, vanilla essence, and pineapple essence. Mix until fully combined and set aside.
2. **Combine the Dry Ingredients:**
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cardamom powder, milk powder, and baking powder.
3. **Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:**
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth consistency.
4. **Heat the Oil:**
- In a deep pan, heat oil over medium heat. Test the oil temperature by dropping in a small amount of batter; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
5. **Fry the Donuts:**
- Using a cup dipped in oil for easy scooping, drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil.
- Fry the donuts until they are golden brown, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
6. **Drain and Serve:**
- Once cooked, remove the donuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
🍽️ How to Serve
Serve the donuts warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with chocolate sauce. They pair wonderfully with hot chocolate or your favorite beverage!
đź’ˇ Pro Tips
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the donuts from soaking up too much oil.
