These 3-Ingredient Doughnuts are light, fluffy, and coated in irresistible cinnamon sugar. Made with just self-raising flour, yoghurt, and oil, they’re the easiest homemade doughnuts you’ll ever make—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

300 g (2 cups) self-raising flour, plus extra to dust

250 g vanilla bean Greek-style yoghurt

Rice bran oil, to deep-fry

Cinnamon sugar, to coat

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the self-raising flour and yoghurt. Mix with your hands until a soft dough forms and comes away from the sides of the bowl.
  2. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into smooth balls. Lightly dust with extra flour if sticky.
  3. Pour rice bran oil into a medium saucepan to a 5 cm depth and heat over medium heat to 170°C. Test readiness by dropping in a cube of bread—it should turn golden in 15 seconds.
  4. Working in batches, carefully lower dough balls into the hot oil and fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over.
  5. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to paper towel to drain briefly, then toss immediately in cinnamon sugar while warm.
  6. Serve fresh and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, add lemon zest or vanilla extract to the dough.

Roll in icing sugar or dip in glaze instead of cinnamon sugar.

For a baked version, cook in a doughnut pan at 180°C for 10–12 minutes.

Use gluten-free self-raising flour for a gluten-free option.

Reheat in an air fryer or oven at 160°C for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
