Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour , sifted
- 4 tablespoons caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt fine
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated
- 2 egg beaten
- 300 ml milk or more, (at 97 F / 36°C, whole
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons butter melted and lukewarm, unsalted
- vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup sugar or icing sugar (for the topping)
Equipment

Instructions
- Add a large volume of oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pan.
- Heat over low to medium heat until the oil reaches a temperature of approximately 350 F (175˚C)
- If necessary, lower the heat to maintain the oil at a temperature between 340 F and 350 F (170˚C and 175˚C).
- While the oil is heating, in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg.
- In a measuring glass, whisk together the milk, eggs and vanilla extract.
- Gradually and while kneading with the dough hook, pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and mix for 30 seconds.
- Add the melted butter and salt and knead for 3 minutes at high speed, until a homogeneous and thick dough forms. It is important not to knead for too long to obtain extra soft timbits.
- Using 2 tablespoons, scoop portions of dough and dip them in hot oil at the right temperature.
- Do not overload the dough too much and fry the timbits for about 2 minutes on each side.
- Using a skimmer, remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a cooling rack lined with paper towels.
- Pour the sugar into a deep plate.
- Roll each donut in the sugar and coat them well.
- Transfer the donuts to a cooling rack.
Notes
- It is possible to vary the flavors of the timbits, with, for example, coffee or sour cream versions.
