Ingredients
Lychee doughnuts:
- 5 (appx 75g) fresh lychees skins and seeds/pit removed
- 25 ml whole milk or enough to make 100ml combined with the blended lychees
- 1 large egg
- 30 ml vegetable oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon rose water
- 100 g cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
Make the doughnuts:
- In a high-powered blender, blend the fresh lychees until smooth.
- Top the blended lychees with enough milk to make 100ml in total liquid.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg, vegetable oil, blended lychees and milk and rose water.
- Add in cake flour, baking powder, granulated sugar and salt.
- Use a spatula to combine the ingredients together, taking care not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter into a large piping bag and trim the corner.
- Pipe the batter into a lightly greased doughnut pan.
- Give the pan a few taps to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Bake the doughnuts for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with the slightest crumbs clinging to it.
- Let the doughnuts completely cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
